TWO YOUNG MEN WITH EXPECTATIONS. ONE PREDICTED TO SUCCEED, THE
OTHER TO FAIL. Prince Albert Victor, heir presumptive to the
British throne, is seen as disastrously inadequate to be king. The
grandson of Queen Victoria, he is good-hearted but intensely shy
and, some whisper, even slow-witted. By contrast, Jem Stephen is a
renowned intellectual, a poet and a golden boy worshipped by all.
But a looming curse of mental instability is threatening to take it
all away. Appointed as the prince's personal tutor, Jem works to
prepare him for the duty to come. A friendship grows between them -
one that will allow them to understand and finally accept who they
really are, and change both of their lives forever. `A gilded cast
of characters parades through this sumptuous tale. A clever mixture
of history, psychology and sex.' - Alastair Stewart OBE, ITN
anchor; `In sculpted, luscious prose Clark tenderly imagines the
secret longing of a fated prince and the man who ruled his heart' -
Uli Lenart, Attitude magazine; `This novel blends historical facts
with a splash of imagination to create a magical portrait of the
Queen's great-uncle.' - Hello magazine
