Dispossessed of crown & kingdom, crushed & routed at the grim Battle of Worcester, the young Charles II is forced to flee for his life. Out of the heat of battle, the outlaw King & his tiny party must journey across Cromwell's England to a Channel port & a ship bound for France & safety. But the King, with his love of adventure, his irrepressible humour & his unmistakeable looks, is no easy man to hide... A typically witty, exciting & wonderful tale of historical adventure, Royal Escape will please Georgette Heyer fans old & new.
