Summary "The King Behind the King" by Warwick Deeping is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Fulk Ferrers, a young forester tasked with protecting the beloved deer in the forest of Black Gill, and his unexpected encounter with a mysterious woman named Isoult of the Rose, who seems to embody both danger and allure. The narrative is set against a backdrop of social upheaval, hinting at tensions between the common folk and the nobility. The opening of the novel introduces Fulk as he patrols the forest under the light of a full moon, highlighting his vigilance and dedication to his lord's protection. In a tense encounter, he surprises Isoult, who is caught poaching. Their interaction reveals both their fiery personalities and sets the stage for a complex relationship filled with challenge, sparks of attraction, and political intrigue. As they navigate their roles—Fulk as the steadfast protector of the deer and Isoult with her mysterious agenda—the story hints at deeper conflicts brewing within the societal landscape of their time, suggesting that their destinies may be intertwined in ways they have yet to understand.
