Aedeelia Remington and Evangeline Charmicheal return to London after years away, polished not only by refinement but by an education their fathers fiercely insisted upon—an unusual advantage in a society that prizes beauty over intellect in its daughters. Alongside their dearest friend, Daphne Bridgerton, they are immediately the talk of the ton. Too lovely, too graceful, and too seemingly innocent to be compared, Queen Charlotte herself declares the impossible: she cannot choose a single Diamond. Instead, she names them the Crown Jewels—three girls so precious the season will revolve around them.
