All she wanted was a change.
All he wanted was a mate.
It’s 1810, and Europe is at war as Napoleon stages his great march across the continent and the British Empire battles the threat. King George III’s illness leaves him raving about sky invasions—rants that his courtiers dismiss as the thoughts of a madman.
Margaret Swinton has her own problems; unwillingly promised to Julian Barwick, Duke of Bridgewater and a royal insider, she struggles to find feelings for him, something that her family cannot understand.
However, History will soon be transformed when strange lights start to appear over England: a new invader with a power that easily overwhelms the primitive British forces. As George III repeals the Regency Act, Margaret meets Aidar, the gorgeous and dreaded Prince of the Sky Men.
Margaret quickly finds herself trapped in a deadly, deceit-filled love triangle in a world that has changed forever. The stakes are high, and one wrong move could easily spell disaster…
(from chapter 1)
It’s the middle of 1810, and the entire world has just been shaken. Napoleon has recently created a strategic alliance by marrying Austrian archduchess Marie Louise. In all parts of Europe, he is now a major threat to the United Kingdom, for the French Empire is reaching its greatest moment.
Unlike its many coalition partners, the British have remained at war throughout the period of the Napoleonic Wars. Protected by naval supremacy, the country has maintained low-intensity land warfare globally for over a decade.
On a lesser scale, in England, King George III is getting weaker and weaker. He speaks, quite frequently, of an incoming invasion. “Not from the sea,” he rasps, eyes darting this way and that. “It will come from the sky. They will arrive in flocks and droves, like birds of the maddest sort. They will destroy everything, and what they won’t destroy—what they won’t destroy will wish for death, for that peace would be a kinder fate.”
Word travels quickly throughout the kingdom. While the greater part simply knows that the King is growing frail and that the Prince Regent will soon take his place, they are unaware of King George III’s fever dreams, or how paranoid he has become; locking himself away within the royal chambers, refusing to let anyone visit unless they are thoroughly vetted beforehand.
Rumors spread that he is unfit to rule. They spread of dark days in the future, and unease over the Prince Regent’s sudden rise to power. Many who frequent the royal grounds are aware of this—but Margaret Swinton is not. She is far more focused on her own life, and the disdainful fact that she has been promised to be Julian Barwick’s bride.
The man is a duke with close ties to the royal family. He reins over Bridgewater, a place that Margaret has never been and, if she had her ways, would never visit.
