In her classic tale, Charlotte Brontë introduced readers
to the strong-willed and intelligent Jane Eyre. The Jane
Eyre Chronicles pick up where Brontë left off, with Jane
married to her beloved Edward Rochester and mother to a
young son. But Jane soons finds herself having to protect
those she loves…
While extensive repairs
are being made to Ferndean, their rural home, Jane and
Edward accept an invitation from their friend Lucy Brayton
to stay with her in London. Jane is reluctant to abandon
their peaceful life in the countryside, but Edward’s damaged
vision has grown worse. She hopes that time in the capital
will buoy his spirits and give him the chance to receive
treatment from an ocular specialist.
Once in
London, the Rochesters accompany Lucy to the Italian Opera
House. But there is more drama in the audience than on
stage—Jane not only unexpectedly finds herself in the
presence of King George and his mistress, Lady Conygham, she
also encounters an old nemesis in the form of Lady Ingram
(whose daughter, Blanche, once hoped to wed Edward herself).
The aging dowager deals both Jane and Lucy a very public
snub; hoping to mitigate the social damage caused by this,
Lucy insists on visiting the Ingrams the next day. The visit
goes poorly from the start—and ends with Lady Ingram
dropping dead in the midst of taking tea. It soon becomes
clear that the dowager’s death was an unnatural one, and
Jane must set her considerable intelligence to the problem
of solving it—and why the throne appears to have an interest...
