Description
Set against the turbulent world of the Restoration, this historical novel follows the formidable Marquis of Roxhythe as he navigates shifting loyalties, political intrigue, and the demands of devotion. His enduring bond with Charles II and the steadfast attachment of his secretary, Christopher Dart, illuminate a story shaped as much by friendship and allegiance as by its unconventional love stories. With its florid early style, dramatic atmosphere, and morally complex relationships, the novel offers a fascinating glimpse into the developing imagination of one of historical romance’s most distinctive writers. Both an ambitious tale in its own right and an intriguing forerunner to themes and character types that would recur in later work, it will especially appeal to readers interested in literary origins and Restoration fiction.
