The fifth book in Jean Plaidy's Georgian series turns to Charlotte, a German princess who faces the prospect of never marrying. Her fortunes change when a king notices her, and the union that follows carries the burdens of royal life. Charlotte gradually becomes a steadying figure in a nation that needs one. The novel follows her devotion to her husband alongside the wider course of the kingdom's history, with its court intrigues and personal hardships. It is a story of loyalty set against the larger demands of royal duty.
