"Red Eve" by H. Rider Haggard is a historical novel that unfolds in medieval England, telling the story of Eve Clavering and Hugh de Cressi as they are drawn together amid the cold, unforgiving landscape of 1346. Eve, a determined noblewoman, and Hugh, a merchant’s son with a hidden heritage, find their growing love threatened by an age-old family conflict and the arrival of Eve’s arranged marriage to a French lord. Their bond is tested by social barriers, family expectations, and the shadows of a gathering war, weaving a narrative filled with both the tenderness of burgeoning romance and the peril of their intertwined destinies. The novel's opening scenes shift between a dark procession in an Eastern land and the fateful meeting of Eve and Hugh, setting the stage for a tale where love and duty collide against a backdrop of impending doom.
