"...those seeking period romance with a twist need look no further." -KirkusIt's 1814 in this Alternate History Spy Romantasy. Napoleon has escaped imprisonment on Elba, assassinated King Louis XVIII, usurped the French throne, and devastated Europe. Now his sights are set on Britain. Invasion is imminent, and Stranje House sits squarely in his path.
Some call her dreams a gift. Tess considers her prophetic nightmares a family curse. She can't run far enough or fast enough to escape the visions of death and foreboding that haunt her. She fears they will plunge her into the same madness that destroyed her mother. But those disturbing dreams may be her only means of saving Lord Ravencross and her fellow students at Stranje House from the traitorous schemes of Lady Daneska. Lady Daneska and Ghost, the illusive leader of Napoleon's ruthless band of assassins and spies, have stolen back into England intent on vengeance and paving the way for Napoleon's invasion.
Tess has to confront her destiny and risk everything to protect those she loves. She and the extraordinary young ladies of Stranje House must triumph over Napoleon's spies or England will fall into the hands of the power-mad emperor.
