Charity Beaufort has grown up on tales of Prince Augustus, who fought the French occupation of his country Jura, while many nobles fled to England or Austria to sit out the war. He is Charity's hero, and childhood fantasy. But, the fatasy becomes reality, when after the war he seeks an English wife to reinforce the treaty the with the English, and agrees to marry Charity's sister, Lydia. At seventeen, Charity has decided she is happier without a husband to restrict her freedoms, and only slightly envies her sister. But, events outwit her, and treachery works to place Charity in her sister's role of wife to Prince Augustus.
