Romantic adventure meets royal intrigue
Romantic adventure fiction of Tracy's day rests on a simple promise. A reader will meet people of rank, places of danger and a love that must survive both. The subject named for this book, a stolen crown, points to a story where power has been taken wrongly and someone must answer for it.
In such tales, a throne is never only a chair. It stands for family, honor and the fate of a whole country. When a crown changes hands by theft or force, everyone near it is pulled into the struggle.
