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 &quote;Peveril of the Peak&quote; 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 &quote;Romeo and Juliet&quote;. 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 &quote;Waverley&quote;, &quote;Rob Roy&quote; and &quote;Ivanhoe&quote;. These books married exciting adventures with real events from Britain's turbulent past. Among his best known poems are the epic &quote;The Lady of the Lake&quote;. Scott's works remain a touchstone of Scottish and European literature. They've also inspired numerous movies, including 1995's &quote;Rob Roy&quote; starring Liam Neeson.
