The year is 1803 and England and France remain at odds.
Hoping to break the English once and for all, Napoleon
backs a ring of Irish rebels in uprisings against England
and sends the Black Tulip, France’s most deadly spy, to
the Emerald Isle to help. What they don’t know is that
also in Ireland is England’s top spy, the Pink Carnation,
who is working to shut the rebels down.
Meanwhile, back in
England, Letty Alsworthy intercepts a note indicating that
her sister, Mary, is about to make the very grave mistake
of eloping with Geoffrey Pinghingdale-Snipe (second in
command of the League of the Purple Gentian). In an
attempt to save the family name, Letty tries to stop the
elopement, but instead finds herself swept away in the
midnight carriage meant for her sister and is accidentally
compromised. Geoff and Letty, to each other’s horror, find
themselves forced into matrimony.
Then, Geoff receives
word that he is to travel to Ireland to help the Pink
Carnation and disappears immediately after their wedding
ceremony. Letty learns of Geoff’s disappearance and, not
to be outdone by her husband, steals away on a ship bound
for Ireland, armed and ready to fight for her husband…and
to learn a thing or two about spying for England.
