Aline Solini--a beautiful Russian adventuress who has abandoned her
Russian husband and is now in search of greater conquests in
Europe--arrives in Marisi, in the decadent days on the eve of World
War I. She has been rescued by Richard Stetton, the wealthy playboy
son of an American millionaire, who is on a trip to Europe to
discover himself. Instead, the somewhat dim-witted Stetton falls
into Aline's clutches, and she uses him and his money to win her
way into fashionable society. Once she is accepted by the elite,
her schemes move her closer and closer to the throne. "A Prize for
Princes" is a charming period piece, with a languid evocation of a
long-lost Europe that will captivate fans of Stout's later works,
as well as readers of historical novels.
