Beverly Of Graustark is the second book in the Graustark series.<br />Lorry and his wife, the princess, made their home in Washington, but<br />spent a few months of each year in Edelweiss. During the periods spent<br />in Washington and in travel, her affairs in Graustark were in the hands<br />of a capable, austere old diplomat--her uncle, Count Caspar<br />Halfont. Princess Volga reigned as regent over the principality of<br />Axphain. To the south lay the principality of Dawsbergen, ruled by young<br />Prince Dantan, whose half brother, the deposed Prince Gabriel, had been<br />for two years a prisoner in Graustark, the convicted assassin of Prince<br />Lorenz, of Axphain, one time suitor for the hand of Yetive.
