Resumen del Editor

A Christian Historical Adventure set in Regency England with romance and a supernatural twist
Part one in an epic-length serial novel

She met him again by shooting him.

After four seasons and unmarried because she is taller than most of her dance partners, Miss Phoebe Sauber receives the shocking news that she is being callously banished from her father’s estate because he is remarrying. Feeling betrayed by her father and by God, and wanting to escape her family’s presence, she attends an archery tournament with her friends.

But her perfect aim fails her, and her arrow hits a piece of paper held by Mr. Michael Coulton-Jones, whom she hasn’t seen much in society in several years. But strangely, her arrow tears a section of the paper with a partial symbol that looks eerily familiar to her.

He met her again while searching for a killer.

Michael had quit his work as a spy for the Foreign Office when his brother was poisoned. His search for the murderer leads him to Apothecary Jack, a criminal underworld leader with a penchant for poisons, who is gathering a powerful army through an alchemical potion that can give men supernatural strength.

But his path unexpectedly crosses again with Miss Sauber, who saves him from a trap laid by Jack. She and her Aunt Laura, Lady Wynwood, have found a vital connection to Apothecary Jack and the mysterious group he works for.

Now Michael, who had vowed to never again allow civilians to come to harm, must work with a nobleman keeping dangerous secrets, a human lie detector, a chemist, a fellow former spy, and the one woman he’s never allowed himself to get close to.

And it is only this ragtag group that stands against a traitorous organization that could enable Napoleon to conquer the world.

PLEASE NOTE: Like the novels published in Jane Austen’s time, this is a novel in multiple parts. Each volume has a completed story arc, but this is NOT a stand-alone novel and ends on a cliffhanger.

Like the story but the computer voice daunting

I like the story and as an audiobook it could be sooo much better. The computer voice it terrible. It makes it sooo hard to get through. Very sad such a disservice to the author and story.

The story is very good when you keep track of it

The story line is exciting and has just the right amount of danger, romance, and the hob n nobbing of the regency era. The only problem is the AI reading. When the story says, she croaks out her answer, there is no croaking. The voice stays monotone for the most part. If it says he was exited to see her, the voice doesn’t relay that. If the British accent was supposed to make it an acting achievement, it didn’t. The voice makes it difficult to keep track of who is doing what since it all sounds the same.
