(CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform June 14, 2017)
The tale opens in Boston in the middle of the 19th century, and describes the experiences of two European siblings shifting from the old to the new world. Eugenia Münster and Felix Young since their early childhood have lived in Europe, moving from France to Italy and from Spain to Germany. In this last place, Eugenia entered into a Morganatic marriage with Prince Adolf of Silberstadt-Schreckenstein, the younger brother of the reigning prince who is now being urged by his family to dissolve the marriage for political reasons. Because of this, Eugenia and Felix decide to travel to America to meet their distant cousins, so that Eugenia may "seek her fortune" in the form of a wealthy American husband.
