But Jamie Stuart is a sibling of a special and most dangerous kind - Scots with a French accent, insolent, as quick with his tongue as with a rapier; namesake of a King, and kin too, in an irregular sort of way - for all that his shoulder bears the brand of a galley-slave.In this novel Jamie Stuart, hero of Robert Kerr's The Stuart Legacy, is driven from Scotland to the frozen North - no less wild, no less full of enemies. The long arm of a King reaches after him to eliminate an obstacle to a second throne. The pipes are muted after the clash of steel on steel, and Jamie Stuart awakens to find a sword at his throat, held by a beautiful woman. With its wit and dash The Black Pearls is an historical novel in the grand tradition of Sabatini and D'Orczy.
