INSTANT NO. 1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
The eagerly-anticipated sequel to Dana Schwartz's Reese's Book Club Winter YA Pick and No.1 New York Times bestselling gothic romance, Anatomy: A Love Story
Hazel Sinnett is alone and half-convinced the events of the year before - the immortality, Beecham's vial - were a figment of her imagination. She doesn't even know if Jack is alive or dead. All she can really do now is treat patients and maintain Hawthornden Castle as it starts to decay around her.
When saving a life leads to her arrest, Hazel seems doomed to rot in prison until a message intervenes: Hazel has been specifically requested to be the personal physician of Princess Charlotte, the sickly granddaughter of King George III. Soon Hazel is dragged into the glamour and romance of a court where everyone has something to hide, especially the enigmatic, brilliant members of a social club known as the Companions to the Death.
As Hazel's work entangles her more and more with the British court, she realizes that her own future as a surgeon isn't the only thing at stake for her. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy, and Hazel may be the only one capable of setting things right.

Klappentext
Edinburgh, 1818: a gothic tale full of mystery and romance . . .
Hazel Sinnett is alone. The events of the past year - the immortality, Beecham's vial - feel near-imagined. And worse, she doesn't even know if Jack is still alive. All she can really do is run her free clinic in Hawthornden Castle, as it decays around her.
When Hazel finds herself unexpectedly arrested, she seems doomed to jail. Until she's offered an out: a role as personal physician to Princess Charlotte, the king's sickly daughter. Suddenly, Hazel is swept up by the glamour and secrecy of a court where everyone has something to hide.
Meanwhile, Jack Currer has been travelling across the Atlantic, seeking a cure to his immortality so that he can spend a normal life with Hazel. When he hears Beecham has died, he immediately rushes to London to discover how.
As their search for the immortality cure entangles them deeper in the British court, Hazel and Jack realise their love is not the only thing at stake. Malicious forces are at work in the monarchy - forces determined to claim eternal life at any cost. . .
