| Summary | "A Modern Mercenary" by K. Prichard and H. Hesketh-Prichard is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around John Rallywood, a lieutenant in the Frontier Cavalry of the small and politically volatile Duchy of Maäsau. As the narrative unfolds, it explores the themes of honor, duty, and the intricate dynamics of a society on the brink of conflict, potentially embroiling Rallywood in military and political intrigue. The opening portion introduces the reader to the capital city of Révonde and establishes the atmosphere of tension that characterizes Maäsau. Rallywood has spent years on the frontier and is contemplating resigning, feeling unfulfilled and eager for adventure. Through a conversation with Major Counsellor, Rallywood learns about the brewing troubles in Maäsau and the consequences of his potential departure. He soon receives a summons from the Chancellor, Selpdorf, hinting at opportunities that await him—an invitation that leads to his reappointment as a captain in the Guard. As tensions mount and the backdrop of political machinations takes shape, Rallywood's journey into a world filled with danger, social complexities, and potential romance begins.
