Summary
Queen Charlotte has been successful in her relentless pursuit of securing the royal line for her husband, but now her days are back to being empty. A loneliness has begun to seep deeper into her soul that not even Whistledown can distract her from and she has begun to even lose interest in their game.
Lady Danbury fell out of sorts with her oldest friend after the debacle with the Sharmas and Bridgertons. While her friendship was repaired, tragedy had struck. Now that the royal line was secure, she watched as Charlotte succumbed to her grief for namesake. What was worse: she had lost the confidence of Violet Bridgerton. She was lost, lonely, and, most of all, sad.
Penelope Featherington was in torment. She had used her grief and loneliness to write her papers during the royal baby race. The nation needed Queen Charlotte, so she used her pen to spur Her Majesty onwards. It had worked, but the grief and emptiness returned. Then, she learned of her Mama's betrayal: filing a false will with the Queen's solicitor. Now grief, anger, and sorrow mix together leaving her empty.
Three women from opposing spectrums feeling the same types of loneliness. What kind of friendships can they forge together?
