Once upon a time, high in the Pyrenees Mountains, there were two kingdoms, happy and prosperous. In one kingdom, Richarte, a son was born and declared the crown prince.
In the other kingdom, three daughters, Sorcha, Clarice and Amy were raised in royal splendor by their loving father, the king, and their grandmother, a martinet who demanded they perform their royal duties at all times.
Then revolution swept Europe and swept the two kingdoms.
The three princesses of Beaumontagne were sent to the safety of England. Their father, the king, was killed. After six years of warfare, their grandmother wrested control back from the revolutionaries. She sent her most trusted emissary for her granddaughters, but Godfrey was not loyal. He couldn’t bear to kill the girls, so he told them assassins hunted them and urged them to flee. In fear for their lives, the princesses hid themselves.
Then Godfrey reported to the old queen they had disappeared. The old queen sent messengers far and wide, but alas, no one could find a trace of Sorcha, Clarice or Amy.
