"Waverley; or, 'Tis sixty years since — Complete" by Walter Scott is a historical novel published anonymously in 1814. Young English soldier Edward Waverley receives a commission in a Scottish regiment just before the Jacobite rising of 1745. Visiting a family friend in Scotland, he discovers a world of Highland warriors loyal to the exiled Bonnie Prince Charlie. Torn between duty to the Crown and the romantic allure of the Jacobite cause, Waverley must choose sides in a conflict that will test his honor and shape his destiny.
