The Blanket of the Dark

The Blanket of the Dark by John Buchan is a gripping historical novel set in 16th-century England during the turbulent reign of Henry VIII. The story follows Peter Pentecost, a young scholar drawn into a web of intrigue, rebellion, and prophecy. Amidst rising unrest over religious reform and feudal oppression, Peter discovers a mysterious document hinting at his royal ancestry and a destiny tied to overthrowing the king. Buchan masterfully blends action, suspense, and rich period detail, exploring themes of loyalty, identity, and the clash between tradition and change. As Peter navigates danger and deception, the "blanket of the dark" symbolizes both the chaos threatening England and the shadowy forces shaping history. A tale of adventure and moral complexity, the novel captures the tension of an era on the brink of transformation, reflecting Buchan’s trademark blend of intellect and excitement.
