Summary "The Black Arrow: A Tale of the Two Roses" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses in England, it follows young Richard Shelton, who is drawn into the conflicts of his time and caught between loyalty to his guardian, Sir Daniel Brackley, and the quest for justice for his murdered father. The tale explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the journey from boyhood to manhood amidst the backdrop of civil strife. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to Richard Shelton as he rides through the village of Tunstall, where an alarming summons has been issued. Following a series of dialogues between locals and his companions, Richard learns of an impending battle and his guardian Sir Daniel's involvement in it. The atmosphere is tense, as rival factions vie for power and members of the community express their distrust of Sir Daniel's loyalties. As the narrative unfolds, a shocking event occurs when an old archer named Nick Appleyard is suddenly killed by an arrow bearing a warning from a mysterious figure named John Amend-All, setting the stage for intrigue and conflict that Richard must navigate as he grapples with his own place in the turbulent world around him.
