Noblesse Oblige

Oliver Cromwell is dead. Civil War looms once more. Abroad, the exiled Royalists set in motion well-plotted plan to put a Stuart King back on the English throne. Under cover of the plot, which uses civil unrest to alarm the population, one of the intriguers is illegally accumulating huge swathes of land. Topping the list of this shadowy figure is the Hafod Estate of the Margam Dynasty, located in the heart of the Monmouthshire valleys, desperately trying to recover from debts imposed by the Cromwell Government.
Alain Daguerre , orphaned but taken in by the Margam's, stumbles unwittingly into the conspiracy, and only his well-taught arms training and the brute militancy of his cousin, William, keeps him from serious harm. His naïve eagerness to play a role in a perceived anti-government plot only serve to drag into further bewildering intrigues where friends and foes are not necessarily what they seem, conspiring to place his entire family in utmost danger.
