In The King's Rivals, Elizabeth N. Barrow sketches a vivid 17th‑century world through the eyes of John Hadder. Follow a young sailor as he faces storms, danger, and a dangerous enigma that tests his wits and heart.

From a perilous night at sea to a quiet, earnest romance, the story blends swashbuckling action with personal growth. The narrative threads together friendship, family, and the costs of loyalty when past loyalties collide with present duties.

  • Meet a cast of memorable characters, including Hal, Mistress Penelope, and the steadfast Mr. Booker.
  • Track shifting loyalties, coded truths, and the consequences of love and promised futures.
