In Restoration England, two young lovers must battle against a wild conspiracy. Julian and Alice's love has survived a lot. For one thing, their families supported different sides in the English Civil War. But now the monarchy has been restored, bringing with it a terrifying new danger-the Popish Plot, which alleges the country's Catholics are planning a coup. And Julian is one of the accused. Walter Scott's "e;Peveril of the Peak"e; shows an England riven with intrigues, religious hatred, and senseless violence. And at its center, a heart-wrenching 'wrong side of the tracks' romance that echoes "e;Romeo and Juliet"e;. A compelling drama for historical fiction fans. Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) was a Scottish novelist, historian and poet. He became a key figure within Romanticism-an artistic movement that revered nature, emotion and spontaneity. A prolific author across genre and form, Scott pioneered historical fiction with novels like "e;Waverley"e;, "e;Rob Roy"e; and "e;Ivanhoe"e;. These books married exciting adventures with real events from Britain's turbulent past. Among his best known poems are the epic "e;The Lady of the Lake"e;. Scott's works remain a touchstone of Scottish and European literature. They've also inspired numerous movies, including 1995's "e;Rob Roy"e; starring Liam Neeson.
