By Right of Conquest: A Novel explores the stark contrast between the lives of the wealthy elite and the working class, centering on a young heiress and a common ship stoker. The novel delves into themes of class struggle, societal tension, and personal conflict as the characters navigate their disparate worlds. The story opens in a bar, where the protagonist, a ship stoker, contemplates his life amidst a group of disgruntled workers. The atmosphere is heavy with frustration as they prepare for another grueling voyage, reflecting on the harshness of their labor and the rigid societal structure that holds them captive. This gritty setting sets the tone for the unfolding drama, where personal rebellion and class resentment simmer beneath the surface. The novel not only highlights the struggles of the working class but also presents the internal conflicts faced by the characters as they grapple with their roles in a divided society. Through the protagonist's emotional journey, the narrative examines themes of fate, identity, and the desire for something more, as the characters confront their own sense of powerlessness within the confines of their social stations.
