It had been Charles I's love for his queen, Henrietta Maria, that plummeted England into the darkness of the Civil Wars, but it was the love and devotion of another man that suffered her through days and nights of betrayal, destitution, and fatality. Tall and courageous, Harry Jermyn is captivated by the witty French princess, just 14 years old when she sails with him to Dover, queen of any land she's never seen, of any people whose dialect she cannot speak, who despise her on her behalf beliefs - and better half of a king she's never attained. Charles increases to love her, but rebellion and the risk of execution power her into exile and into the arms of Harry, who disadvantages his life on her behalf sake. Collectively they work for the royalist cause, pawning the crown jewels, obtaining men and arms, and time for England to lead an army south. As England is torn aside, Henrietta's heart and soul is torn between the two men she enjoys, between duty and illicit interest. The main topic of dangerous gossip and public scandal, she actually is powerless to calm the storm that will lead to tragedy.
