About This Book

Set in the days of King Charles, the story follows a young boy raised in a grand country house whose sheltered routines and close household relationships are disrupted by events beyond the estate. Vivid domestic scenes — gardens, servants, and household rituals — give way to journeys, moments of disguise and danger, and confrontations with loyalties tested by larger conflicts. Through adventure and personal trials the narrative traces the boy’s growth, his developing sense of duty, and the tensions between affection, honor, and the demands of an unsettled era.
