A historical novel written during the late 19th century. The book explores the complex social and political dynamics of the island of Jersey, focusing on themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the struggle for identity during times of conflict. The story introduces several main characters, including young midshipman Philip d'Avranche and Ranulph Delagarde, whose lives become intertwined as they navigate personal and national turmoil. At the start of the narrative, Parker sets the stage for the story by depicting the island of Jersey's treacherous coast and its historically ingrained customs, hinting at the isolation and strong sense of identity among its inhabitants. The opening chapters introduce a variety of characters, including the jovial young Philip, who observes a humorous incident involving the Bailly and a little girl named Guida. We meet Ranulph, a shipbuilding apprentice, who learns of a sinister foreign plot to invade Jersey, involving his traitorous father. This revelation propels him into action, setting up a dramatic chain of events as tensions rise and the islanders brace themselves for conflict. The reader is keenly aware of the laid-back lifestyle of the island contrasted with the brewing chaos, hinting at the adventure and drama that will unfold as the story progresses.
