A poet's passion for the good life takes an unexpected turn when the new queen arrives in London, and her king promptly rejects her. "Celia" is a fable set in the court of England's King Charles I inspired by Thomas Carew's poem, "Upon a mole on Celia's bosom." It is an alternative history novel. Thomas - a courtier to the young king and the most prolific of the Cavalier Poets - vows to make the new unpopular queen coveted using complimentary poetry. His lust-filled fantasies to a fictitious Celia soon become the talk of London. Every woman wants to be Celia and every man wants to win her, including the king. Against the poet's better judgement, he falls in love with the queen and when he finds the bravery to speak from his true heart, the revelations lands both in prison. At trial, Thomas must make the most important choice of his life: protect his legacy or protect his love. What unfolds sets the foundation for one of the most romantic true stories in the history of royalty.
