  The Monarch's Echo is a sweeping tale of legacy, silence, and the reverberations of a crown long buried in history. As a young archivist uncovers fragments of a forgotten ruler’s life—letters, artifacts, and whispered myths—she begins to unravel a truth deliberately hidden by generations of power. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that the monarch’s voice was never truly lost—only silenced. In a kingdom on the brink of political upheaval, past and present entwine, revealing that the echoes of leadership, love, and betrayal still shape the choices of today. Atmospheric, elegantly layered, and rich in intrigue, The Monarch's Echo is a captivating exploration of the stories history tried to erase and the voices that demand to be heard. Perfect for fans of regal drama, slow-burning suspense, and emotionally resonant mysteries.

  "Quality fiction and real history make a great match, and Sarah Angleton's Gentleman of Misfortune offers the best of both. This is an engaging story with surprises on every page".  
                -- Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Gunfight and Manson 
  Spring 1833 
  Gentleman swindler Lyman Moreau is accustomed to changing his identity to suit his schemes. A new opportunity arrives when a collection of eleven mummies and several papyri covered in indecipherable hieroglyphs are due to arrive in New York's South Street Seaport direct from the Valley of the Kings. Enlisting the help of a crooked customs agent and a black market antiquities dealer, he assumes the identity of Michael Chandler, nephew of deceased Egyptologist Antonio Lebolo, and lays claim to the shipment. 
  The showman's plan to amass his fortune displaying the stolen artifacts across the country becomes more complicated when one of his accomplices dies a suspicious death, causing Lyman and the man's beautiful widow to make a hasty escape from the city. Through four states, along the Erie Canal, and eventually to the doorstep of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith, Lyman exhibits his dusty companions before a curious public. Rarely more than a few breaths ahead of his enemies, Lyman struggles to keep his prize from slipping away as he tangles with grief, love, betrayal, and a growing sense of his own mortality.
