Sweet but dull - that's how life has always been for Hazel Louise Mull-Dare.But on the day of the Epsom Derby, June 4th, 1913, everything changes.

A suffragette in a dark coat steps out in front of the King's horse, dying days later from her injuries.Who was she and why did she do it?Hazel is determined to find out.

But finding out leads her into worse trouble than she could ever have imagined.

It leads to banishment. To secrets that have festered, and a shame that lingers on.

To madness and misunderstanding in the place where sugar cane grows.Sweet but dull - that's how life used to be for Hazel Louise Mull-Dare.Not any more.
