Isabella Waverly comforts a dying woman on a London street and takes the employment letter found in her possession. Using the dead woman’s name, Bella secures a place in the kitchens of Buckingham Palace, where her skill as a cook brings her to the attention of Queen Victoria.

Bella is chosen to accompany the royal household to Nice, but blackmail threatens to expose her assumed identity. When a member of the party dies after eating a meal Bella prepared, she must find the poisoner before the investigation sends her to prison and destroys the life she created.
