Description
‘Rich and atmospheric, a thrilling story set in a glittering, hidden world!’ AJ West
‘A sumptuous and gripping tale of oppression, freedom and hope. I loved it.' Anna Mazzola
‘A dazzling must-read for all lovers of the best in historical fiction.’ Essie Fox
Pearl was an infant when her father, Daniel, fled with her from a Jamaican sugarcane plantation. Now sixteen, she is poised for a career on the London stage, where her extraordinary voice holds the intoxicating promise of independence.
But Daniel knows how quickly fortune can turn. While working with the Brotherhood of Crows to protect Black Londoners from injustice, he also pursues a long-promised inheritance owed to him for saving a major’s life in battle – a claim that powerful men are determined to deny.
While Pearl resists her father’s fears, she finds a thrilling new family in the glittering world of theatre. But when rivalry, sabotage and a devastating betrayal place her in grave danger, she must decide what freedom truly means – and what she is willing to risk for a life of her own.
