When Hazel becomes the personal physician to Princess Charlotte, the sickly granddaughter of King George III, she is dragged into the glamor and romance of the British court, but she soon realizes malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and she may be the only one capable of setting things right.
Hazel Sinnett is half-convinced the events of the year before were a figment of her imagination. She doesn't even know whether Jack is alive or dead. All she can do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her. When she is specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly daughter of King George IV, Hazel is dragged into the glamor and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the enigmatic, brilliant members of a social club known as the Companions to the Death. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and Hazel may be the only one capable of setting things right. -- adapted from jacket
