Summary "The Harlequin Opal: A Romance" by Fergus Hume is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds in a time of political tension and warfare set against a backdrop of vivid romance and adventure, prominently featuring themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the mystical nature of an opal, regarded as a sacred object by the indigenous people in the narrative. The main character, Jack Duval, alongside his friends, navigates a conflict involving military struggles and personal relationships, particularly in connection to the opal. The opening of the narrative introduces readers to a tense military situation as the characters navigate the challenges of war, injuries, and the looming threat of an enemy. Jack and his comrades are deeply concerned about their missing friend Philip, who has been engaged in battles against overwhelming odds. The intense dialogue and quick pace set the tone for the unfolding conflict, highlighting the desperation of the loyalists trying to hold their ground amid attacks from Indian forces allied with the rebel leader, Xuarez. As the story progresses, themes of loyalty to friends and the fate tied to the mystical opal begin to emerge, framing an immersive tale of human resilience in the face of adversity.
