Captain John Pendragon thought he’d left danger behind on the battlefield. But war, it seems, follows some men home. In Pendragon: Late of Prince Albert’s Own, author Robert Trevelyan throws Pendragon from the smoke of the Charge of the Light Brigade into the murk of Victorian London’s underworld, where corruption, deceit, and murder threaten the very heart of the Empire.
Wounded but proud, Pendragon assumes the mantle of the Queen’s missing Secret Agent. What follows is a journey through crowded docks, dark alleys, and grand drawing-rooms—where the sharpest weapons are not sabres but secrets. Tasked with retrieving a traitor’s cryptic documents and foiling a plot to sink the British navy, Pendragon must decide whether his honor demands loyalty to crown, country, or conscience.
Blending cavalry charges, cloak-and-dagger intrigue, and a hero torn between his genteel breeding and the savage costs of duty, Pendragon is a rousing tale for readers who crave elegance, action, and moral danger in equal measure.
