About the book
Lord Roxhythe is a patriot. He loves his king and his county . . . in that order, with an undying passion. When faced with a mission for his king, King Charles, that many would quaver at accepting, Roxhythe accepts without hesitation. While those around him question if what is good for Charles is indeed good for England, Roxhythe does not. He is a royalist of a different age. Full intrigue, adventure, and rich details of the time and place. This is Georgette Heyer’s second historical novel, published in 1923, was a far more ambitious undertaking than her first, 1921’s The Black Moth. The book was suppressed from republication by its author during her lifetime.
