Immortality: A Love Story

Immortality: A Love Story, by Dana Schwartz, continues the dynamic tale of the desperate Hazel Sinnett, who is determined to become a doctor in nineteenth-century Scotland against all odds.

The fate of her beloved Jack is unknown, and the crimes of the infamous surgeon Beecham have been pinned on a grave robber. Hazel's heart is broken, but life must go on. So the girl continues to treat the sick and wounded in Edinburgh. After saving a woman's life, she ends up in prison, facing hanging. Luckily, as Sinnett awaited her walk to the gallows, Hazel is invited into a carriage and taken to London.

She is hired to diagnose the ailing granddaughter of the king, Princess Charlotte. Hazel meets a handsome young doctor and brilliant, influential members of a secret society. The girl must use all her skills (from medical knowledge to etiquette) to solve the puzzles before her. More is at stake than meets the eye — the future of the monarchy, the happiness of people who mean a great deal to Hazel, even her own future — all depend on how she treads.
