It's 1814 in this Alternate History Spy Romantasy.
Secretly trained for the perilous world of spies, diplomacy, and war, the extraordinary young women of Stranje House face a dire threat. They must find a way to thwart Napoleon's ruthless band of assassins and spies and stop his looming invasion. But a traitor within Stranje House jeopardizes everything.
Lady Jane's relentless pursuit of the traitor ensnares the young American inventor, Alexander Sinclair, in a deadly ambush. His design of a steam-powered warship for Britain is at stake. The quick-witted young American may have appalling manners and is forever teasing Lady Jane, but he also understands her as no one else ever has. Lady Jane cannot bear the thought of anyone harming the golden-haired genius.
If only she was the brilliant strategist Miss Stranje insists she is. Everything rides on this game they are playing, and Lady Jane must prove herself enough of a mastermind to save Alexander, her friends at Stranje House, and even England itself.
The stakes in this game are life, death, and love.
Fans of Gail Carriger's Etiquette & Espionage and Nancy Springer's Enola Holmes series will love this Alternate History Romantasy, and delight in its daring heroines, handsome young lords, and dastardly villains.
