When reluctant time traveler Alex ended up at the feet of Matthew Graham in 1658, her life changed dramatically. Now, eight years later, Alex has to handle yet another major change—becoming a settler in the American colony of Maryland. The Graham family has no choice: Matthew cannot remain in Scotland, not with his religious convictions. Their hope is that Maryland will offer them the opportunity to start anew, no matter the heartbreak of leaving their homeland. But some things cannot be left behind.

After Henry of Lancaster's rebellion has been crushed, a restless peace settles over England.

Edward III is growing up fast. He resents the power of Mortimer and his mother, Queen Isabella. His regents show little inclination of handing over their power to him, the rightful king, and Edward suspects they never will unless he forces their hand.

Scotland in 1688 is a divided country, torn between the papist Stuart King and the foreign Protestant William of Orange. Popular opinion is with Dutch William, and Matthew's reluctance to openly support him does not endear him to his former friends.
