Lady Alice Deincourt was a woman who was destined for life as just a daughter, sister, wife or widow. Her story would have been a casualty of time, to be lost to the past.

Her story takes us right to the heart of the seminal historical events that shaped the Britain of her time. Discover her fascinating story with this book. -
