This is the tale of a lovely medieval castle and its chatelaine, the beautiful little duchess Anastasia, the boy-king Alexander and the young English boy, Hugh Vallence who is on holiday in Ornawitza and left there alone after his friend has been recalled to England.
The account of the trials of Anastazia, the schemes of her wicked uncle, and the part played by 'the Stormy Petrel' keep the suspense going until the very end.
This is the fourth title in the Stormy Petrel series and will come with an introduction by a Violet Needham expert.
