Lady Maisie might be just an eighteenth-century ghost but she is furious to discover that a middle-aged man is secretly writing a historical romantic novel about her two and a half centuries later. With a bit of unwitting help from twelve-year-old Rowan, she sets out to defend her reputation and make the author change his soppy, helpless heroine to reflect the noble and courageous character she really was when she was alive, in Bonnie Prince Charlie's time.
