Walden McGregor is a student who studies, travels with friends, works part-time at a gas station, and is writing a paper on the historical roots of Celtic myths. His own family history also reaches back through the centuries: Walden's ancestors belonged to an ancient Scottish clan, from which the legendary hero Rob Roy came. Walden spent his childhood in Scotland, at the secluded Royal Fishing estate, where his beloved grandfather and father remained. Now he lives in Oxford with his mother, stepfather, brother, and sister. The past beckons him: he knows and loves the family legends, has been making up stories about the Lone Knight since childhood, and is passionately interested in historical reenactment and fencing. And Walden is also trying to make sense of his feelings about his parents, whose divorce once separated him from his brother. Meeting young clown-maker Jo, a Russian student at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, helps him to look at the world around him and at his own family in a new and loving way. 

Maria Pasternak's new book, whose historical novel "The Gold of the Temple" has already won the favor of readers, speaks to us about the present, but the past of the main character, his family, turns out to be the most important participant in the events. After all, the future grows out of the past, and only from it.

For older schoolchildren.
