La Garde Écossaise historical fiction written by Dr Kirsteen M MacKenzie and published by History Gateway Limited aims not only to entertain the general reader but also endeavours to generate more interest and curiosity in early modern history. It aims to be an introduction to early modern studies for general readers and students alike, especially students taking broad survey courses on the subject.
Therefore, the novel will not only appeal to readers of historical fiction but also to students studying courses in early modern history.
The novel, which is the first in a forthcoming series of novels, is accompanied by an official podcast, audio guide and newsletter which explores the story in greater depth and the historical events that inspired it.
