The lost king

In 'The Lost King', Rafael Sabatini crafts a compelling narrative around the legend of Louis XVII, who, according to myth, escaped from prison and lived in exile.

The story follows Florence de La Salle, a key figure in a plot to restore the Dauphin to the French throne, weaving a tale of intrigue, passion, and betrayal.

Unlike some of Sabatini's other works, this novel focuses more on political machinations than swashbuckling adventures.
