Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Master of Ballantrae: A Winter's Tale" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a novel published in 1889. Two Scottish brothers find their family torn apart when the Jacobite rising of 1745 forces them to choose opposite sides in the conflict. When the rebellious elder brother is reported dead, the younger inherits everything—until a messenger arrives years later with shocking news. What follows is a dark tale of rivalry, betrayal, and obsession that spans from the Scottish highlands to pirate ships and the American wilderness.
