The narrative unfolds during a time of political turmoil in Brazil, centering around Robert Harcliffe, a young man summoned to serve as a private secretary to a revolutionary leader, Dom Miguel de Pintra. The book delves into themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the fervor for independence against a monarchical regime, reflecting the complexities of personal and national identities. At the start of the story, Robert observes his Uncle Nelson as he sorts through mail, eventually revealing a significant letter that leads to an unexpected proposal. Robert is asked to travel to Brazil to assist Dom Miguel, a figure embroiled in a revolutionary cause. As Robert embarks on this journey, he encounters intrigue on the voyage itself, including suspicions of espionage and rival political factions. The opening chapters highlight the stakes of Robert's mission and the high tension surrounding the revolutionary activities, setting the stage for both political intrigue and personal danger as he navigates through conspiracies and the perilous world of Brazilian politics.
