Summary "The Sword of the King" by Ronald MacDonald is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is narrated by Philippa Drayton, who reflects on her childhood and the pivotal moments that shaped her understanding of love, duty, and bravery within the familial and political turmoil of her time. Central to the narrative is her relationship with Master Edward Royston, which evolves against the backdrop of the English Civil War and its aftermath. The opening of the novel introduces us to Philippa Drayton, who begins recollecting a childhood memory that highlights her bond with Master Edward Royston when they were young. As a five-year-old, Philippa is rescued by Ned during a troublesome moment with her nurse, sparking a friendship that grows into affection over the years. Their interactions reveal the innocence and charm of childhood, but also hint at the underlying political tensions of the time. As the opening progresses, we delve into Philippa’s family history and relationship dynamics while setting the stage for the complicated events that will unfold due to their intertwined lives amidst the backdrop of staunch royalist loyalties and the repercussions of war.
