Book Synopsis The Princess of Celle by : Jean Plaidy
Book excerpt: The first volume in Plaidy's Georgian saga.

Clara von Platen, the uncrowned ruler of Hanover, jealous, ruthless and sexually insatiable, is spurned by Königsmarck when he re-appears in the life of Sophia Dorothea. In revenge, she plans his ruin-and that of the sad princess he so recklessly loves...
