At fifteen, Amelia was forced into servitude at the palace, courtesy of her stepmother's scheming. As a palace maid, Amelia was bound to a ten-year contract, effectively banishing her from her family's presence. Four years into her service, Prince Henry Sebastian Montague returns to the palace, fresh from his education abroad. Amelia is assigned as his personal handmaid, but their initial encounter is far from pleasant. The arrogant prince treats her with disdain, and Amelia is forced to endure his cruelty. At the prince's engagement party to Charlotte Elizabeth Windsor, Amelia's stepsister, a drunken Prince Henry issues a command that will change the course of Amelia's life forever.
