"Jane Seton; or, The King's Advocate: A Scottish Historical Romance" by James Grant is a historical romance novel written in the mid-19th century. The book is set during the reign of King James V of Scotland and showcases the intricate dynamics of court life, conflict, and personal relationships in a time of political strife. The main characters include Jane Seton, daughter of the Countess of Ashkirk, and Roland Vipont, the King's Master of Ordnance, along with tensions involving Sir Adam Otterburn, the King's Advocate, creating a rich backdrop of romance and intrigue. The opening of the novel presents a grand scene in Edinburgh as preparations are underway for the joyful return of King James VI and his young queen, Magdalene of France. There is excitement and celebration in the air, but also underlying tensions as Jane Seton anticipates a reunion with her beloved Roland Vipont after a long absence. The narrative introduces the complex relationships among the characters, as well as the dangerous political machinations of the time, especially exemplified by Sir Adam Otterburn's hidden jealousy towards Roland. The juxtaposition of festive joy with the protagonist's personal conflicts hints at the drama and romance to unfold throughout the story. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
