description: The First Sir Percy is a novel written by Baroness Orczy, the author of the famous Scarlet Pimpernel series. The book follows the story of Sir Percy de Bohun, a wealthy and influential Englishman who is forced to flee his country and hide in France during the reign of King Henry IV. In France, Sir Percy falls in love with a beautiful young woman named Blanche and becomes embroiled in a dangerous political conspiracy involving the French monarchy. As Sir Percy tries to protect Blanche and himself from the dangers that surround them, he must also confront his own past and the secrets that he has been hiding from the world. The First Sir Percy is a thrilling tale of love, betrayal, and political intrigue set against the backdrop of medieval Europe.Quite enough in truth to make a man who is dizzy with love ten thousand times more dizzy still. And Diogenes was desperately in love, more so indeed than he had ever thought himself capable of being. He quietly unbuckled his sword, which clanged against the floor when he moved, and deposited in cautiously and noiselessly in an angle of the room. Then he tiptoed across to the virginal and knelt beside his beloved.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
