"La Flèche noire" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the Wars of the Roses in England, the story revolves around a young man named Richard Shelton who navigates loyalty and treachery amidst the power struggles of noble houses. The novel intricately weaves themes of honor, ambition, and identity as Richard grapples with his relationship to his guardian Sir Daniel Brackley and the looming threat of rebellion. The opening of "La Flèche noire" introduces the village of Tunstall, whose inhabitants are stirred by the ominous ringing of a bell, signaling impending conflict. The protagonist, Richard Shelton, is quickly embroiled in the tension surrounding a looming battle as he learns that his guardian has summoned all able men to arms, highlighting Richard's inner conflict regarding his loyalties. The narrative introduces a mix of local characters including the apprehensive villagers and a rebellious element represented by a mysterious figure named Jean Répare-tout, who sends a dark message signaled by a black arrow. As the story unfolds, Richard finds himself at the center of a brewing storm, caught between duty to his lord and the emerging chaos that threatens his own fate.
