ABOUT
THE BOOK

Edward Glyver, book lover, scholar and murderer, is determined to overcome his deadly rival, Phoebus Daunt, and reclaim his rightful destiny as heir to a fortune. His path takes him from Victorian London’s foggy streets, brothels and opium dens to England’s most enchanting country house, home to his arch-enemy Daunt and the ravishing Emily Carteret, who steals his heart. But, for each step Glyver takes towards to entrapping his rival, the further he seems to slip from his grasp.
