Fleeing from Scotland after a duelling incident, Paul Greig is rescued on the high seas by a French privateer. Taken to Dunkirk, he is introduced to a social circle filled with supporters of Charles Edward Stuart (Bonnie Prince Charlie) living in exile after the defeat of the 1745 Jacobite uprising. Plunged into a world of political intrigue, he is implicated in a plot to assassinate the Prince and is imprisoned. After escaping, Paul's Jacobite sympathies are shaken by his discovery of the Prince's involvement in a French plan to invade Britain.

First published in 1901, The Shoes of Fortune paints a vivid picture of the death throes of the Jacobite movement and the decline of its once heroic leader.
