My husband was executed on false charges of treason against the crown. And me—with my daughters—kicked out of our ancestral estate with three sacks of miserable provisions. And now, in a foreign land, we have to start life over: find a home, set up our household, and figure out a way to earn a decent living. But most of all, I must do the impossible: marry off two daughters who no longer have any title, no dowry, and no influential family behind them. TWO-VOLUME EDITION
