As the royal wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip whips post-war Britain into a fever, three friends-turned-enemies are reunited by a mysterious encrypted letter — the key to which lies buried in the long-ago betrayal that destroyed their friendship and left one of them confined to an asylum.

But each petal they remove from the rose code brings danger —and their true enemy — closer.
