Written by S. R. Crockett in 1899, The Black Douglas is the story of William, Earl of Douglas's struggle to keep his lands in the hand of the Douglas clan. With enemies like King James II of Scotland and his uncle, the Red Douglas, closing in, William becomes embroiled in events that will change the face of his beloved Scotland forever. Credited as an influence on J. R. R. Tolkien's immortal Necromancer, Sauron, The Black Douglas is a must-read for Tolkien fans and fans of historical fiction alike.
