"Ravenshoe" by Henry Kingsley is a novel published in 1862. In the grand Irish estate of Ravenshoe, a devastating secret emerges: Charles and William were swapped at birth. When Charles discovers he may not be the rightful heir, he flees his privileged life to become a groom, then a soldier bound for the Crimean War. Amidst questions of identity, lost love, and the chaos of the Light Brigade's legendary charge, the truth about bloodlines proves more complicated than anyone imagined.
