Description
When tulip-grower Cornelius van Baerle is framed for treason and sentenced to death, he is powerless against the brutal factional politics that put him in prison. But Rosa, the jailers daughter, is beautiful and strong-willed, and when they fall in love, she determines not only to save him but also to grow the near-mythical flower: the black tulip.
