The book is set in the 17th century during the English Civil War and follows the story of two families, the Delmars and the Falconers, who are on opposite sides of the conflict. The Delmars are a Royalist family who support King Charles I, while the Falconers are Parliamentarians who support Oliver Cromwell. The two families are brought together when the Delmar daughter, Dorothy, falls in love with the Falconer son, Everard. The novel explores themes of love, loyalty, and the devastating effects of war on families and communities.

MacDonald's writing is known for its vivid descriptions and strong moral messages, making St. George and St. Michael V2 a thought-provoking and engaging read. This edition of the book is the second volume of the two-part series.But Dorothy was not running after the fool, or making for any door but that at the bottom of the library tower; for the first terror that crossed her mind was the possible fate of Dick, and the first comfort that followed, the thought of Marquis; so she was running straight for the stable-yard, where the dogs, to judge by the way they tore their throats with barking, seemed frantic with rage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
