Description
"Sir Quixote of the Moors" by John Buchan is a novel published in 1895. A French soldier seeking adventure in seventeenth-century Scotland becomes disgusted by his host's brutal persecution of religious dissenters and flees across the moorlands.

Bound by honor to protect her, the soldier faces an agonizing test when forbidden feelings emerge between them, forcing a clash between duty and desire. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
