A wealthy widow of a nobleman, daughter of a famous scientist, and skeptic who only trusts what can be proven.

Meet Serafina Trent. A woman about to take 19th Century London by storm.

It's London, 1857, and everything is at stake for Serafina Trent. A woman of means . . . but not the typical Victorian lady who feels her place is to be seen and not heard. When her brother's most recent female dalliance, a beautiful actress, is found murdered, all evidence points to him. Especially since the actress had just rejected him in a most public manner. Now everyone believes Clive is headed for the gallows. Everyone, that is, but Serafina.

Determined to prove her brother's innocence, Serafina finds herself working with unlikely allies—including Dylan Tremayne, a passionate storyteller and actor with a criminal past. This novel will hold fans of mystery and history spellbound until the very last page.

Victorian England comes alive in this intriguing new series from one of Christian fiction's favorite authors.

How can narrators and producers allow "Paco" Rivera's name to be butchered over and over? /P- short a-ck- long o/ was ridiculous.
Author- I think addressing the Viscountess over and over as "Viscountess" and not "Lady ______" or My Lady" or " Your Grace' needs to be verified to period accuracy. I don't think any of that was correct. ex. Lady Hamilton, Viscountess of Hargrave. Do some research
Also, in Victorian London, no women would have been allowed to 1) Enter a prison especially not unaccompanied. 2) Travel about with a man without a chaperone.
Was the word 'molest' in use in this time period?
I am a Christ-follower so none of this is against the spiritual nature of the book.

I look forward to Gilbert Morris’ books but a narrator can either make or break the story.
