SummaryBrighton, England, 1811. The beautiful wife of an aging
Marquis is found dead in the arms of the Prince Regent.
Draped around her neck lies an ancient necklace with mythic
origins—and mysterious ties to Sebastian St. Cyr,
Viscount Devlin. Haunted by his past, Sebastian investigates
both the Marchioness's death and his own possible connection
to it—and discovers a complex pattern of lies and
subterfuge. With the aid of his lover, Kat Boleyn, and a
former street urchin now under his protection, Sebastian
edges closer to the killer. And when one murder follows
another, he confronts a conspiracy that threatens his own
identity...and imperils the monarchy itself.
