But Elizabeth also knows they are hiding some terrible secret.
Then they are discovered and disappear into the darkness. She does not even know their real name.
Elizabeth is drawn into the lives of the wealthiest and
best-connected in society. Danger threatens from France; but danger also
comes from within his family, and because of it, Georgiana is lost.
How can Elizabeth bear to sit and wait patiently at home, not knowing what has happened?
