Told by servant Ephraim Mackellar, The Master of Ballantrae is set at the time of the Jacobite rebellion of 1745 and portrays the Durie family.

James Durie abandons his ancestral home to support the Jacobites, while his younger brother, Henry, loyal to the English King, remains. However, years later James, who had been supposed dead, returns to claim his inheritance, resulting in a feud between the brothers that shifts from the Scottish Highlands to the Wild West of America.

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Narrator David Rintoul captures the tension in a dark tale that begins with the Jacobite rising 1745 in Scotland…Rintoul excels at creating all the characters. For the family’s steward, Ephraim Mackellar, the major narrator of the story, Rintoul adopts a subtle Scottish accent and captures the servant’s steadfast loyalty to Henry. Rintoul also fully renders the passionate outbursts between the two brothers. Overall, Rintoul draws listeners into the novel through his careful and enthusiastic portrayals of each character.” AudioFile
