| Summary | "A Dash for a Throne" by Arthur W. Marchmont is a novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around a complex tale of intrigue, identity, and royal ambition as the protagonist grapples with the consequences of a long-hidden past and the burden of sudden responsibility. At the center is the main character, who, after faking his own death to escape the repercussions of a fatal altercation, finds himself thrust into a web of courtly politics upon assumed royal lineage—and the looming peril that accompanies it. At the start of the book, the protagonist is introduced as a man who has spent five years evading the past after an incident with a royal prince nearly cost him his life. Feeling compelled to disappear, he is assumed dead by all, but fate complicates things when he learns of the death of a prince and discovers he is now positioned as the potential heir. He experiences conflicting emotions about his new role while reflecting on a beautiful young woman, Minna, who is entangled in his fate. The opening sets the stage for a narrative filled with deception, ambition, and the stirring challenges of leadership as he must navigate treacherous court dynamics and confront the pending threats to both Minna and his newfound authority.
