SynopsisRomance crackles in magical Regency London in this dazzling tale of a stolen jewel, the heroine determined to retrieve it, and a high-handed-but-attractive stranger who is not what he seems. From New York Times bestseller Garth Nix, praised as "one of the greatest living fantasy writers" by bestselling author Sarah J. Maas! It's her eighteenth birthday, and Lady Truthful Newington--nicknamed "Newt"--is dreaming of her debut in London, where the streets are filled with eligible young men and magic. Coming of age, she is also to inherit the Newington Emerald, a dazzling gem of mysterious power, last worn by her late mother. When the Emerald is stolen in a magic-infused storm, Truthful will do anything to recover it--even disguise herself as a man and ally with the handsome-but-insufferable Major Harnett, who professes to despise womankind and harbors secrets of his own. The two are quickly swept into a perilous adventure, filled with sinister fey and shocking reveals, and in which grand balls and witty banter mix with daring escapes and deadly curses--for they discover the Emerald is at the heart of a nefarious plot that threatens everyone from Truthful, herself, to the Prince Regent! And as Truthful and Harnett battle enemies of the realm, each realizes there is more to the other than meets the eye: despite mutual disdain and mortal danger, could they actually be falling in love?
