Moonlight spills across the East Wing’s dusty floor, illuminating the towering, hunched silhouette of the ‘Beast of the Crown’. George, gaunt and pale as snow, sits by the window.

He peers out at the impoverished streets of 1700 London, a lonely figure trapped within the castle walls, his brown eyes wide with a silent, intelligent longing for the world he is forbidden to touch.
