The wicked, bawdy Restoration court is no place for a child princess. Ten-year-old Anne cuts an odd figure, but as King Charles's niece, Anne is also a political pawn, who will be forced to play her part in the troubled Stuart dynasty. Forced to overcome grief for her lost children, the political maneuverings of her sister and her own betrayal of her father, she becomes one of the most fascinating figures of English history.
