The dragon

Prince Edward—later known as the “Stubborn” of French legend—finds his royal world upended by a chance encounter with Minna Simmons, a brilliant young doctor’s daughter who defies conventional expectations. Their witty, tense courtship unfolds amid ballroom dances, secret letters, and the subtle power plays of a court that both craves and resists change. As their correspondence deepens, the prince is drawn into a web of intrigue that hints at larger stakes beyond the palace walls.

From the glittering halls of London to distant shores, the narrative expands into a series of daring escapades—gold rushes in Australia, mysterious submarines, and unexpected confrontations with political conspiracies. Each episode is peppered with vivid settings and a cast of colorful characters, all while the central romance drives the story’s emotional core. Listeners can expect a richly layered adventure that balances historical detail with the timeless thrill of discovery.
