| Summary |
"Trusia: A Princess of Krovitch" by Davis Brinton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a fictional Eastern European setting during a time of political turmoil and potential revolution. The main character, Calvert Carter, a former military officer drawn to adventure, becomes entangled in the fate of Krovitch and its people, particularly the enigmatic Trusia, the last heir to a dethroned royal family. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Calvert Carter as he reflects on his past experiences in Cuba and the financial battles he faces in New York. His life takes a turn as he becomes intrigued by rumors of war in Krovitch, a province recently under Russian control, and the legacy of its rightful ruler, Count Zulka. As Carter embarks on a journey to Krovitch with his loyal valet, Carrick, they arrive just as tension mounts around the political situation. Their arrival puts them at the center of intrigue and danger, particularly after Calvert's fateful encounter with Lady Trusia, which leads to a series of misunderstandings that challenge their intentions and loyalties.
