Death Of A King

King Alexander III heads to Fife ignoring all advice to wait until a violent snow storm subsides; he yearns to see his beautiful, pregnant wife. He never makes it. His crumpled body is eventually found along with that of his horse suggesting they stumbled in the white-out and crashed to the rocks belon the coastline’s cliffs. A young local lad, Massan Gow, is found wandering along the beach by the search party out looking for the king and soon he becomes embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse accused of regicide.
