Liza is just 17 when her parents die in a tragic carriage accident, leaving her orphaned, penniless and in debt. Everything changes when she gets a job as a lady's maid for Princess (soon to be Queen) Victoria. Suddenly she's uncovering a plot to keep Victoria off the throne and scheming with a journalist to try and stop the plot.

There is an historical note and the end and a list of recommended readings for additional information.
