Clan, Episode 9 - the next Bitesize episode following our hero, Calum Maclean.
Calum confronts the spy, Isobel, as she stands by the bed of the sleeping Bonnie Prince Charlie with a dirk in her hand. He can’t kill the love of his life, but when she renounces her allegiance to the Crown, he forgives her and promises to find her when the war is over.
The Prince asks Calum and John to ride with him to Derby where he will rejoin his army and continue the invasion of England. He would’ve liked to have ordered them to act as bodyguards, but even the Prince knows when to shut up and ask.
It is the wisest decision he has ever made. The road south is a dangerous place for a would-be king and only Calum’s wit can save them from a bloody end.
York’s plan to kill the Prince and collect the reward relies on two scruffy English army deserters, but they are more afraid of York than the whole highland army.
If York’s plan succeeds, then the war will be over at the very moment of Bonnie Prince Charlie’s glorious entry into Derby. And York will be rich.
Saving the Prince could cost Calum Maclean his life, but because nobody has ordered him to try, he will try.
There are no certainties in war, only danger, blood and death. And Calum will meet them all head-on.
