Helpful Score: 2

An entertaining 'alternate history' fantasy set in Regency England. A lonely orphan is drawn back through time and space to assume the identity of the dying Marchioness of Roxbury, marry the Duke of Wessex, and save a captive princess. A dashing adventure full of intrigue, duels, and romance, very much like "The Scarlet Pimpernel". An enjoyable read, with admirable female characters, but nothing profound, and rather weak prose (though with the action so thick and fast, you won't even notice).
