| Summary | "The Battle of the Strong: A Romance of Two Kingdoms — Volume 5" by Gilbert Parker is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. The story is set against a backdrop of political intrigue and personal turmoil in the islands of Jersey and paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by its characters in times of conflict. The narrative revolves around Ranulph, who is caught in a web of family loyalty and betrayal as he faces the consequences of his father's actions and a burgeoning romantic entanglement. The opening of the novel introduces Ranulph as he returns home to find an unsettling darkness enveloping his father's house, prompting a sense of dread. He meets Dormy Jamais, an enigmatic figure who brings news of turmoil involving the royal court and treachery among the islanders. As they navigate through the somber scenes of their community, Ranulph grapples with his father's past treason, his own honorable intentions, and the fate of others caught up in the conflict. Memories of happier times starkly contrast his current despair, indicating a deep-seated yearning for justice and redemption that drives his character's motivations moving forward.
