| Summary | "The Queen's Advocate" by Arthur W. Marchmont is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in the tumultuous backdrop of Eastern Europe, featuring the main character, Chase F. Bergwyn, a wealthy American man who has returned to the Balkan hills where he spent his boyhood. Throughout the opening chapters, Bergwyn finds himself embroiled in an unexpected adventure that includes a violent confrontation to protect a young woman being pursued by armed men, seemingly accused of witchcraft. The opening of the book introduces readers to Bergwyn's character as he reflects on his past while lying in the hills, preparing for his mining venture. The sudden sounds of gunfire divert his attention, leading to a thrilling rescue of a girl on a white horse, who displays courage and determination despite her perilous situation. As the chase unfolds, Bergwyn reveals his resourcefulness, engaging in hand-to-hand combat with her aggressors while also tending to the wounded. After saving her, their partnership develops against the background of danger as they both face the threats that arise from her pursuers and the treachery inherent in their surroundings. Each character displays depth, and the opening sets the stage for a tale rife with tension, personal conflict, and the looming specter of betrayal. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
