Description
Captain of Dragoons by Ronald Welch sweeps readers into the excitement and danger of early eighteenth-century Europe. Young Captain Charles Carey serves under the Duke of Marlborough in the war against France, where courage and clever thinking mean the difference between victory and defeat. When Carey is sent on a secret mission into Louis XIV’s France, he faces spies, double-crossing enemies, and a test of loyalty that will shape his future as a soldier and a man.
Part of the much-loved Carey Family Chronicles, Captain of Dragoons blends true history with fast-paced adventure. From tense moments of espionage to the thunder of the Battle of Blenheim, Welch brings to life a world of bravery, honour, and discovery that captures the imagination of young readers.
Packed with action and historical detail, Captain of Dragoons is perfect for teens who enjoy stories of courage, adventure, and the drama of history brought to life.
