About this ebook

The young wife of an aging marquis is found murdered in the arms of the Prince Regent. Around her neck lies a necklace said to have been worn by Druid priestesses-that is, until it was lost at sea with its last owner, Sebastian St. Cyr's mother. Now Sebastian is lured into a dangerous investigation of the marchioness's death-and his mother's uncertain fate.

As he edges closer to the truth-and one murder follows another-he confronts a conspiracy that imperils those nearest him and threatens to bring down the monarchy.

Ratings and reviews

Took me a long time to finish this book. I just didn't get 'hooked'. Everytime I put it down, I couldn't get my interest up to pick it up again. I found the story moves too slowly. Although I liked the Sabestian character, I doubt I'd continue with the series.
