Synopsis

Relive the true story of a prince in peril and the perilous roads he travels to safety.

This account traces the Young Chevalier’s daring escape, from secret crossings to guarded travel across borders, and the people who aided him along the way.

Across rugged terrain and crowded cities, the narrative follows tense decisions, close calls, and the resolve that kept him moving. It presents a snapshot of loyalty, danger, and the costs of rebellion in a world where every mile could mean capture or freedom.

  • Detailed, scene-by-scene progress of the escape through Scotland, the Isle of Skye, and onto the Continent.
  • Key allies and adversaries, including captains, scouts, and guards, who shape the journey.
  • A look at life in captivity and the strategic moves that framed the wider resistance.
  • Historical context that helps readers understand the era without needing prior background knowledge.

Ideal for readers interested in 18th‑century rebellion, dramatic escape narratives, and historical journals that illuminate real-life adventures.
