| Summary |
"The Queen's Scarlet" by George Manville Fenn is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character of Sir Richard Frayne, a 17-year-old baronet and aspiring army officer. As the plot unfolds, Richard encounters a series of misadventures, including a violent confrontation with his cousin Mark Frayne, which leads to tragic consequences that profoundly impact both their lives. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Richard Frayne, who is preparing for the army exam alongside his cousin Mark, who is embroiled in financial troubles. Tensions escalate when Richard confronts Mark about borrowing money without his consent, leading to a physical altercation that results in Mark sustaining a grave injury. As Richard grapples with the fallout of their conflict, he is faced with accusations of manslaughter and potential public disgrace. Meanwhile, whispers of the family's secrets and the consequences of Mark's actions loom over them, setting the stage for a gripping tale of honor, betrayal, and the struggle for redemption.
