Synopsis

Bridgerton meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this second book in the Lady Helen series, "a delicious collision of Regency romance and dark fantasy" (Publishers Weekly).

Against a backdrop straight out of Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer comes a captivating story of dark magic, demonic creatures and dangerous attraction, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare's Shadowhunters series and Annaliese Avery's The Wycherleys.

Brighton, July 1812. After the scandalous events at her presentation ball, Lady Helen Wrexhall has taken refuge in Brighton for the summer season, where she will continue her Reclaimer training and prepare for her duties as a fully fledged member of the Dark Days Club. Her mentor, Lord Carlston, believes that a Grand Deceiver has arrived in England, and there is no time to lose in preparing Helen to fight it.

As she rushes to complete her training, Helen finds herself torn between her loyalty to Carlston and the orders of the Home Office, who wish to use her to further their own agenda. Meanwhile, the Duke of Selburn seems determined to try and protect her, irrespective of the risk to himself. With so much at stake, Helen must make an agonizing choice between duty and devotion.

"This glorious sequel has it all for fans of fantasy and historical fiction - paranormal clashes, political intrigue, smouldering romance, a handsomely headstrong heroine, and bejewelled historical detail. The writing fizzes with passion and panache throughout, much like Lady Helen herself." LoveReading

"A delicious mash-up of Regency romance and supernatural fantasy." The Bookseller
