Sinopsis
The King's Rivals is a historical novel written by Elizabeth N. Barrow and first published in 1898. The story is set in the late 17th century and follows the lives of two young women, Mary and Anne, who both fall in love with the same man, the future King James II of England. Mary is a beautiful and ambitious young woman who dreams of becoming the queen of England. She is determined to win the heart of James, even if it means betraying her friend Anne. Anne, on the other hand, is kind and gentle, and genuinely loves James for who he is, not for his royal status. As the story unfolds, the two women become rivals in love, with Mary resorting to deceit and manipulation to win James's affections. However, when James becomes king and faces political turmoil, he realizes that he needs a true partner by his side, and must choose between the two women. The King's Rivals is a tale of love, betrayal, and political intrigue, set against the backdrop of a turbulent period in English history. Barrow's vivid descriptions of court life and the struggles of the monarchy make for a captivating read, and her portrayal of the complex relationships between the characters is both compelling and thought-provoking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
