Walter Scott
This volume unites two sweeping historical romances that explore themes of loyalty, passion, and tragedy against richly rendered backdrops. In Peveril of the Peak, a young royalist navigates treacherous political tensions in post-Civil War England, where conspiracies and romantic entanglements threaten his honor and safety. The Bride of Lammermoor offers a darker, gothic tale of doomed love and clan rivalry, as destiny unravels the lives of its star-crossed lovers. Together, these novels showcase a masterful blend of historical depth, emotional intensity, and the stark consequences of pride, politics, and passion.
