Prince Charlie's Witch
Prince Charles Stuart had found himself in a dilemma; retreat back to Scotland or march on London. Lord Murray stood against the marching of London and tried to persuade Prince Charles against it. That is until a young woman barged in demanding to speak with the prince. She told the prince that the streets of London were empty and that the opportunity had arisen for him to take London with little fight. Of course no one believes this girl from the colonies and so Mary Marvellous is forced to take aggressive actions. She pulls a gun on Lord Murray and is quickly joined by Prince Charles' own man, Ran MacGregor. Intrigued by this woman's accusations, Bonnie Prince Charles marches on London and takes over the throne. Now that history has been changed what is to become of young Miss Marvellous? Why did Ran MacGregor trust her, and why does Prince Charles feel compelled to listen to her? Is she a witch?

Before long Mary is drawn into the rogue's dungeon cell and finds that looks can and will be deceiving as she finds herself falling in love with a right hand man of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Francis refuses to give up the whereabouts of his beloved prince and soon finds himself doomed to the hangman's noose.
