Constitutional France.

Four heirs to the English throne.

The Prince of Wales arrived at a crossroad, torn between his duty to Britain and his love for Isabelle, as WWII's call of war inches closer, threatening Europe's fragile peace. 

Nothing is really ever the same when the world is different. History is different. Duty and love conquer the ever-growing and recurring doubt and regret.
