The last of the Letzenstein Chronicles

Rafael le Marre is once again the hero in this last of the Letzenstein chronicles. London 1849 is the setting, and the characters from the previous book are once again in the middle of adventure. He has brought young, orphaned Toby to find his people. Of course, Rafael would be happy to have him at his own castle full or orphans, Xandeln, but before he would keep him, he must make sure his family does not want him. Indeed, his closest family does not care much for him, but they consider that they must do their duty. Toby does have a cousin, Melisande, who cares for him, but she is not the one who makes the decisions. His grandfather, who runs the Rose and Crown inn cannot afford to take care of him. No one should be surprised that everyone is still suspicious of Rafael; he seems never to be able to make his political standing plain. The intrigue element of the other three books is not neglected in "The Rose and Crown", and it makes for an exciting finale to the series.
