It is 1794. In remote Argyll, the laird Malcolm Craig Lowrie has sworn on all that he holds dear to protect his clan even though the price will be his own heart-breaking exile. He has also promised to help Adelaïde de Fontenoy – a young Frenchwoman trying to escape the debauched clutches of elderly lawyer, Sir William Robinson, and flee to France.
But now, as the bloody events of the Reign of Terror unfold in France and all Europe is menaced by Revolution, obsessed by the beautiful Adelaïde, Sir William Robinson arrives in Robespierre''s Paris. Craig Lowrie and Adelaïde are almost ripped apart by the conflicting claims of love and duty and ruthless evil threatens to overwhelm all that is good and true. But is ‘Staining the Soul’ really a story of how love survives?
