Excerpt from A Court Intrigue
I began already to feel blasé with remote Brittany, its overrated ruins, its primitive cook ery, and its outlandish talk, and I longed to have the rocks of Ploumanach labelled Done, and to find myself again in a region where dinner was an event to look forward to, and where I could ask the way with a reasonable chance of being understood.

The cyclist, thrust into a mysterious court under the veil of mistaken identity, is quickly drawn into a clandestine society led by a charismatic monarch, whose goals and influence remain shrouded in secrecy. Amidst the bizarre inventions and eccentric personalities of this hidden group, the cyclist grapples with his predicament, caught between the allure of their audacious plans and his growing suspicions about their true intentions.
