Description

In Regency England, a young heiress named Frances Seymour must navigate the delicate transition from sheltered orphan to society’s debutante. Raised by her flamboyant aunt after the loss of both parents, Frances enjoys beauty, wealth, and a lively education, yet she craves genuine admiration beyond the flattering whispers of schoolmates and well‑meaning relatives.

Just as she prepares for her grand entrance into the social season, her aunt reveals a lingering wish from Frances’s late father: a proposed marriage to the son of his lifelong friend, Sir Richard Elliott. The arrangement, presented as a courteous suggestion rather than a command, places Frances at a crossroads between duty and desire, forcing her to weigh the expectations of family against her own feelings about love and independence.

Listeners will be drawn into Frances’s spirited world of balls, intrigue, and the subtle pressures of aristocratic matchmaking, all while she discovers whether she can shape her own destiny amid the charming yet restrictive conventions of her time.
