Kidnapped as you haven't seen it before -- in a remarkable illustrated edition. When seventeen-year-old David Balfour sets out to claim his rightful inheritance, he dreams of discovering family, fortune, and a future full of promise. But fate has other plans.

Together, the two must navigate a land torn apart by politics and betrayal, evading redcoats, ruthless outlaws, and the cold grasp of death itself.
