About this book

At Gablehurst, Rachel and her mother attend a dying squire while messengers search for his reckless son, Tom. When Tom finally reaches the house, his sister finds him lingering over a drink as their father asks to see him. Evelyn Everett-Green opens this historical adventure with the strain that a young man's carelessness places on his family. Set in Great Britain during Anne's reign, the novel combines domestic concerns with an adventure written for younger readers.

A later gathering puts Tom among fashionable company, watching the Duke of Marlborough greet people across a crowded room. Lord Claud offers the Duke their help with a dangerous secret mission, trusting their courage and sword skills. Tom responds with surprise and eagerness. Family duty and the appeal of risky service give the story its tension, while its formal conversations offer a glimpse of the manners surrounding rank and patronage.
