Her Highness Sophie, princess of the tiny island of Montmaray has a dilemma. Now that she just turned sixteen years old, she wants to go to England and be presented at court. But she doesn't want to go without her cousin Veronica, who would rather spend time working in the library on her book, A Brief History of Montmaray then going to parties and meeting boys.
Not that there's been any chance to do either in Montmaray. The tiny windswept island located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coats of Spain and France has very few people remaining on it, mainly the royal family, King John (Veronica's father who went insane when his wife left him), Veronica, Sophie, and Sophie's little tomboy sister Henry. As well as the housekeeper and a couple of villagers. The island has no electricity, no radio, no stores, the royal family is broke, and the castle is falling to pieces around them.
Although Montmaray used to play a vital role in European politics, the rest of the world has passed them by. But now it's 1936 and things are about to get more interesting, especially after two German Nazi officers arrive.
As Europe prepares to go up in flames, the history of Montmaray is about to change.
