Sarah Forbes Bonetta, a kidnapped African princess, is rescued from enslavement at seven years old and presented to Queen Victoria as a gift. To the Queen, the girl is an exotic trophy to be trotted out for the entertainment of the royal court and to showcase Victoria's magnanimity. Sarah charms most of the people she meets, even those inclined to cast her aside. Her keen intelligence, plus her aptitude for languages and musical composition, help her navigate the Victorian era as an outsider given insider privileges. But embedded in Sarah's past is her destiny. Haunted by visions of destruction and decapitation, she desperately seeks a home she will never run from, a refuge from nightmares and memories of death. She must juggle the power and pitfalls of a royal upbringing as she battles prejudice on her way to living a life worthy of a Yoruba princess.
