"Always, always the white foam beats the rocks . . . and always must men sail warily along these coasts." In a single day, on the wave-swept Island of Jersey, Ranulph Delagarde has seen his mother buried and his father's door locked against him. Breaking his pensive reveries afterwards, a few overheard words threaten to change his life forever: for he hears plans being laid against Jersey, the home of his family for countless generations. And in league with these French plotters, to his dismay, is someone Ranulph knows all too well. He must warn the governor -- but in moments finds himself hurled into a lightless prison. Canadian novelist Sir Gilbert Parker (1862-1932), author of the best-selling novel of the American revolution "The Seats of the Mighty," turns his eye to life on a small island steeped in tradition and generations-old wisdom, in this "Romance of Two Kingdoms."
