The Cornet of Horse by G. A. Henty audiobook. Genre: adventure In January 1702, at Windthorpe Chace near Derby, young Rupert Holliday is being shaped into a gentleman of the old school: hawking, riding, and relentless practice with the sword under his Jacobite grandfather, Colonel Holliday, and a French fencing master, Monsieur Dessin. But the politics of England run as hot as Rupert's temper, and when he intervenes to protect Dessin's daughter, Adele, from a brutal insult, a lightning-quick duel leaves Rupert with no safe place at home. With the law and a powerful local family closing in, Rupert rides for London with only his loyal friend Hugh Parsons at his side, determined to claim a promised commission in the Earl of Marlborough's cavalry.Soon Rupert is swept into the War of the Spanish Succession, where bravery is measured in smoke and steel at sieges and great battles such as Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde, and Malplaquet. As he rises in the ranks, Rupert must learn when boldness is a virtue and when it is a fatal mistake, navigating battlefield chaos, enemy traps, and the dangerous politics of officers and courts. Behind the adventure lies a harder question: what does honor demand when loyalty, love, and survival all pull in different directions?
