A dashing tale of Prince Charles Edward, the Pretender when he returns to France weary and heartbroken  after the failure of ’45. He is frustrated at every turn, invoved with love and intrigues and forced to wander through Europe on the hopeless quest for help to begin a new rising in order to regain his throne.  This was Boileau’s final book;  she died before completing it and it was subsequently finished by Baxter Ellis.
