She is rescued, socially at least, by Rhaz, the Duke of Doncaster. Then her mother engages a music teacher, Frederick. But Frederick is not the simple musician he appears to be, but a talented composer and nobleman. When will Seraphina find out?

Rhaz finds Seraphina's sister, Cordelia, quite fascinating and his mother the Duchess meddles in all their affairs.
