Al Haines "The King's Own Borderers: A Military Romance, Volume 1 (of 3)" by James Grant is a historical romance novel written in the mid-19th century. Set against the backdrop of the late 18th-century Napoleonic Wars, the story opens with an impending disaster at sea and introduces the noble Lady Winifred and the seasoned Quartermaster John Girvan, who watch a ship struggle against a storm off the Scottish coast. Their plight sets off a chain of events that will intertwine their lives with the fates of others, particularly a little boy named Quentin whose life is forever changed by the wreck. At the start of the novel, as the storm rages, Lady Winifred and Girvan observe a distressed ship, leading to fears that its crew may perish on the notorious Partan Craig. Soon, they witness the tragic wreck, which leaves only a small boy alive, Quentin Kennedy, who emerges from the sea as an orphan after his father's heroic yet futile attempts to save him. As various characters rally around the boy in the aftermath of the disaster, Lady Winifred resolves to protect him, kindling a narrative that blends themes of loss, love, and the socio-political turmoil of the era, as well as a glimpse into the connections forged through shared adversity and kindness.
