Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Mary Meehan and PG Distributed Proofreaders "An Enemy to the King" by Robert Neilson Stephens is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Ernanton de Launay, Sieur de la Tournoire, a young Huguenot gentleman who embarks on a journey to Paris filled with ambition and dreams of adventure, excitement, and romance amid the political intrigues of the late 16th century. The narrative is deeply rooted in the historical context of civil strife in France, particularly the tumultuous rivalry between Huguenots and Catholics, with significant figures like the Duke of Guise and King Henri III playing prominent roles. At the start of the book, we meet Ernanton as he sets out from his childhood home in Anjou to explore the bustling and vibrant life of Paris. In his quest for exploration, he encounters a mysterious gentleman and has a tense confrontation with Bussy d’Amboise, a renowned swordsman, showcasing his youthful bravado. Throughout these early chapters, Ernanton's motivations are not solely political; he is also driven by the desire for love and adventure. His romantic aspirations lead him to cross paths with various notable characters, including the enigmatic Mlle. d'Arency, who remains central to his growing obsession. As he navigates through challenges, duels, and encounters, readers can sense a brewing conflict that will shape both his destiny and the historical tensions of the era.
