Rider Haggard is a historical novel set in the early 16th century during the reign of King Henry VII of England. The story revolves around Peter Brome, a young man of noble birth who has fallen into a life as a merchant, and Margaret Castell, the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant. Their lives intertwine in a tale filled with adventure, romance, and the complexities of social class, as political tensions and personal rivalries emerge. The opening of "Fair Margaret" introduces a vibrant scene in London as King Henry VII opens Parliament and announces his war plans against France, which captivates the public. The narrative swiftly shifts to Peter Brome and Margaret Castell, who are drawn to the festivities despite Peter's concerns for Margaret's safety. Their chemistry is palpable, and their interactions hint at deeper feelings that lie beneath their familial camaraderie. The conflict escalates quickly when Margaret is harassed by a drunken Scotsman, leading Peter to protect her violently, which sets off a series of events involving the Spanish envoy d’Aguilar and hints at political intrigue that will play a crucial role in the unfolding drama.
