| Summary |
"The Way of an Eagle" by Ethel M. Dell is a novel written during the early 20th century. The story unfolds amidst conflict and suspense, centering on the experiences of General Roscoe's daughter, Muriel, and Nicholas Ratcliffe, a young officer tasked with her protection as they navigate the dangers of a siege and personal betrayal. The opening of the novel introduces a tense situation where General Roscoe is faced with imminent danger to himself and his daughter, Muriel, amidst a siege by hostile forces. With dwindling resources and desperation setting in, the General entrusts Ratcliffe with the safety of Muriel, creating an atmosphere loaded with tension and uncertainty. As the General grapples with the gravity of his child’s potential fate, Ratcliffe emerges as a pivotal character, promising to defend her at all costs. The narrative is steeped in themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the harsh realities of war, with the burden of making a morally complex choice weighing heavily on the characters from the very beginning.
