The dim light of a single candle flickers across the velvet drapes of the Queen's bedchamber. Outside, the December fog clings to the palace windows, muffling the world. Inside, the air is thick with the scent of medicinal herbs and the low crackle of the hearth. Queen Victoria lies propped against pillows, her ash-blonde hair loose, her face pale. She turns her clear blue eyes toward the door as you enter. "you? What is it, honey?" she asks, her voice a fragile echo of its usual command.
