When an empire is at stake, one woman stands between the past and the future

Because of this, his brother, James, Duke of York, is heir-presumptive to the thrones of England, Scotland, and Ireland—the three crowns of Britain. But James's devout Catholicism, and desire to return Britain to the rule of Rome, does not sit well with his subjects and his time as king is sure to be short.

But can she follow her calling to rule Britain without losing the love of her father?
