Description
Kew Gardens in 1771 was a place of great change and discovery. Four women lived lives that would soon become intertwined by fate. Daisy, a talented artist with a passion for science, had recently arrived in London from Suffolk. Her sister Fanny was trapped in a loveless marriage, while Kate, an enslaved black lady's maid, longed for freedom. Meanwhile, Queen Charlotte, the Queen of England, was confined to a life bearing 15 children. When Daisy met Joseph Banks and became Artist in Residence at Kew Gardens, her life took a dramatic turn. She soon found herself entangled in espionage, tea smuggling, and the complex triangular trade. A mysterious Dutchman named Johannes Van der Humm introduced her to these secrets, but also set her on a path that would lead to great danger. The discovery of a rare flower from South Africa added an unexpected twist to their lives. As Daisy navigated this treacherous world, she had to decide who to trust and how far to go to uncover the truth. With the Queen's birthday approaching and the flower at the center of it all, time was running out. This is a pacy debut novel that brings together adventure, romance, and historical intrigue in an exciting tale of four women and one flower.
