In the tradition of Daphne du Maurier and Winston Graham, a Cornish tale of intrigue and romance set against the backdrop of the English Civil War.
Cornish farmer Joseph Moyle's loyalty to the crown goes well rewarded--his stepson Ralf is appointed page to the future King Charles II. When Ralf takes up his post, Britain is in the midst of its most tumultuous period ever--the war between the Royalists and the Parliamentarians and the dawning of a new era. Ralf's duties oblige him to follow the heir to the throne through the western countries, where he encounters not only court intrigue and the constant threat of Cromwell's armies, but also romance. As Charles begins the first of many affairs, Ralf also falls in love. But this first love is a dangerous one. Brighid is an Irish Catholic--and complicit in an attempt to kidnap Charles
