    About this ebook

    This volume contains Robert William Chambers' 1902 novel, "The Maid-at-Arms". It is a heroic romance that tells the story of George Ormond and Dorothy Varick, two young would-be lovers living in New York during the American Revolution. Everything is thrown into chaos, however, when the war begins to intrude on their comfortable metropolitan world. Robert William Chambers (1865 - 1933) was an American artist and author. He is most famous for his collection of stories entitled "The King in Yellow". The chapters of this book include: "The Road to Varicks", "In The Hallway", "Cousins", "Sir Lupus", "A Night at the Patroon's", "Dawn", "Aftermath", "Riding the Bounds", "Hidden Fire", "Two Lessons", "Light and Shadows", etcetera. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

    Robert W. Chambers

    Robert William Chambers (1865-1933) was a Brooklyn-born artist and writer best known for producing supernatural, horror and weird tales. He published his first novel, In the Quarter in 1894 but didn’t receive major recognition until 1895 with a collection of short stories called The King in Yellow. Despite entries in other genres, such as romance and historical fiction, Chambers’ most acclaimed works were Gothic in nature. His eerie tales would go on to inspire a generation of writers including H.P. Lovecraft.
