Romance Historical
London, 1679 Isabel, Lady Wilde, mistress of King Charles II, has made a
good living disguised as fortune teller Mistress Ruby,
counseling London's elite. But after the murder of one of
her customers, business has taken a downturn, and Isabel is
on the verge of accepting the king's offer to move into the
palace. Isabel's plans are interrupted when a beggar girl named
Susanna shows up at her home, claiming to be her niece.
Isabel always believed that her older brother, Adam, died
alone during the plague. When Susanna reveals that Adam was
actually murdered, Isabel is compelled to take up an
impossible task: discover the truth about her brother's
death, twelve years after it happened. Isabel's investigation leads her through the gamut of London
society, from bear-baiting matches and brothels to the realm
of wealthy bankers. But as she uncovers her brother's dark
secrets, Isabel begins to wonder whether the past is better
left buried—especially when uncovering the truth could lead
to her own funeral.
