The author of Suitors and Sabotage shares a YA Regency-era mystery: “Think Austen with kidnapping and murder . . . intriguing historical suspense” (School Library Journal).
England, 1833. A near-fatal carriage accident has deposited an unconscious young woman on the doorstep of Hardwick Manor and into the care of young Lord James Ellerby. But when she finally awakens, it is with no memory of who she is or where she came from. Beth, as she calls herself, has only clue to her past: a recurring nightmare of a hummingbird, blood dripping from its steel beak.
With the help of James and his sister, Beth tries to solve the mystery of her own identity and the appalling events that brought her to their door. But nothing could prepare her for the escalating dangers that threaten her and the Ellerby clan. From the hazardous cliffs of Dorset to the hostile streets of London, Beth will fight to reclaim her life, hunted by a secretive foe with murderous intentions.
