The story unfolds in the tumultuous period of the late 17th century, focusing on the character of Peter Blood, a skilled physician and adventurer. As a reluctant participant in the political chaos of his time, Blood finds himself caught up in the rebellion against King James II, leading to his wrongful arrest and a series of harrowing events that transform his life dramatically. The opening of the novel introduces Peter Blood, who is living a peaceful life as a doctor in Bridgewater when he observes a fervent procession of rebels gathering to support the Duke of Monmouth’s cause.

As he attempts to navigate his tumultuous fate, the narrative sets the stage for his transformation from a physician to a man of adventure, hinting at the extraordinary journeys and challenges he will face throughout the course of the book.
