The year is 1814.

A man has died in the top suite of Mrs. McGeorge’s tavern in Pictou, Nova Scotia.

Whispers and gossip spread through the small port town, but little sympathy is given. Few in town knew who the man really was. Why he was there. Where he came from. Or how he died.

Rumours swirl.

Was he an illegitimate prince? A lying schemer? Or another rich wastrel wasted away?

One thing is certain: the man trusted nobody—but you—to discover the real identity and purpose of the Prince of Pictou.
