Book description
England, 1850: As she makes her way through London's crowded streets,
Rose Windermere is nearly knocked to the ground by a man who whispers a
dire warning...and presses a letter into her hands before fleeing. The
letter seems innocuous enough merely plans for a gentleman to meet his
lover. But for Rose, the mark with which it is sealed recalls her
idyllic childhood in India and a world that was destroyed one terrible
night, when an uprising left her dearest friend, Hugo, dead. Amidst a
city enthralled by its Great Exhibition, Rose is pulled back into the
exotic land of her youth, as the past comes unimaginably alive. Caught
in a web of deceit and intrigue, she must unravel the strange
machinations of a man whose lust for power will threaten a monarchy and
Rose's own heart. England, 1850: As she makes her way through London's
