Kidnapped

Your uncle sends you up an unfinished staircase in the dark, and by the week's end has sold you to a brig bound for the Carolinas. The ship runs down a boat carrying a Jacobite with a belt of French gold and the best sword-arm in the Highlands. Stevenson's mismatched friendship — a cautious Lowland boy, the vainest brave man in Scotland — crosses the heather with a price on both heads. You are David Balfour, heir to a house you were never told about.
