Endymion

Twins Endymion and Myra Ferrars a experience sudden and drastic fall in status owing to the politics surrounding the Reform Bill of 1832, and are orphaned, though they do not complain. Instead, through self-discipline and patience they achieve a triumphant rise to power-- Myra becomes the queen of a new Latin monarchy, and Endymion, coached throughout by his sister and the determined Lady Montfort, becomes Prime Minister.
