About this book

On a bitter December night in Rome, an Irish friar and a grieving woman share the warmth of a charcoal pan in a poor eating house. Fra Luke has prepared a petition for Mrs. Mary and hopes to place it before a prince. Charles Lever opens this historical adventure among crumbling ancient monuments, narrow alleys and people whose needs sit uneasily beside the grandeur of the city.

Later, Gerald Fitzgerald recounts a dispute at a Paris supper, where his loyalty to the court brings him into conflict with its critics. Count Dillon listens as the young guardsman describes the confrontation and its painful consequences. The novel sets private appeals, powerful patrons and public loyalties alongside one another, giving readers an adventure shaped by conversation, social position and the uncertain protection of influential friends.
