When Kings Go Forth to Battle (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781434425096)

Set in a fictional European kingdom, When Kings Go Forth to Battle follows a reluctant monarch caught between personal conviction and royal obligation. With subtle wit and a keen eye for political absurdity, Whitelock crafts a romantic-satirical narrative that skewers the pomp and pitfalls of power. The novel blends courtly drama, philosophical musing, and gentle parody in a work that reflects early 20th-century tensions around leadership, nationalism, and personal freedom.
