Sophie Fitzosborne and the rest of her royal family have escaped the Nazi invasion of their tiny island country of Montmaray. They are living in exile with their aunt Charlotte in England. Sophie is finally living the life of luxury and fun she only dreamed about. She is now attending balls, wearing glamorous clothes and meeting the creme de la creme of society; however, she is not enjoying this new life. Veronica and Simon are constantly bickering about how to get the Nazis out of Montmaray, Toby is failing at Oxford, and Henry is on the verge of losing another governess. In addition, all of Europe is on the edge of war. If Europe goes to war, will anyone care about their small island nation? Will they ever return to their home and kingdom? This is the second book in the "Brief History of Montmaray" series.
