Fleeing their Suffolk home in the wake of disaster, Kitty Daniels and her brother Matt arrive in the stews of 19th-century Whitechapel with nothing but the clothes in which they stand and, to each, a talent.
Kitty's voice may hold the key to escape from the savage squalor of the slums; but Matt's talent for thieving, whilst more immediately useful, plunges them both into deadly danger.
From the backstreets of London through fame and fortune to a Paris besieged by the Prussian armies runs Kitty's story, of undaunted courage, determined success, love – and betrayal.
This atmospheric and unforgettable historical romance is perfect for fans of Lily Graham, Natalie Meg Evans and Fiona McIntosh.
