Meanwhile Keith is sent on a mission to capture Charles Edward Stuart, and finds himself in the neighbourhood of Windlestrae Manor... but neither Keith nor Ewen can guess what meetings and choices will result. This fic is a crossover with White Cockades by Edward Prime-Stevenson; you don't need to have read that book to understand the fic, but it does contain spoilers.
