About the Legend
An enigmatic name—Fingerless Will Nixon—is all that history left behind. But what happened to his fingers? And why does his name still haunt the cursed Scottish Borderlands of 1508? Rich Nixon, a likely living descendant, breathes life into the legend in this unforgettable tale.
About the Book
Eighteen-year-old Will Nixon wakes one morning on the unblessed borderlands to find his family’s cattle missing. Seeking the herd, his search ends in a bloody ambush by English thieves. Will’s survival now depends on the care of the lovely and spirited Mattie Glendenning. Nursed by Mattie, he vows to reclaim what was stolen, restore his honor, and win Mattie’s heart.
Blending fact and fiction, this is not a tale of kings, but a gripping saga of a young man and ordinary folk in extraordinary times. Nixon explores clan conflict, loyalty, and the tension between the godless Border Scots and a Church quick to curse them, as he shines a light on the historically forgotten, strong, capable women who endured beside their men in this bloody century where justice often came at the end of a hangman’s noose.
If you enjoy the “Outlander” series, Bernard Cornwell’s epic tales, Ken Follett’s “Kingsbridge” stories, or James Herriot’s warmth and humor you’ll love an unforgettable ride with Fingerless Will into the fascinating borderlands of 16th Century Scotland.
