Publisher's Notes
First Line: "On the first day of September in the year of 1721, a galley with a center mast and one sail glided through the waters of the James River in His Majesty King George I's Royal Colony of Virginia."
Industry Reviews
"No summary can do justice to the complex, entrancing plot, or to the qualities of historical research and characterization that raise Koen above the crown. Her portrayal of the Jacobite plot, the temper of London in 1721 and the major players--George III, the Prince of Wales, intriguer extraordinaire Robert Walpole--is accurate and interesting."
