A Revolutionary Tale of Vengeance, Justice, and the Masks We Wear
They came in the night, wearing porcelain masks. By dawn, the aristocracy trembled.
Paris, 1788—A city on the edge of revolution, where the elite feast while the people starve.
When the Duke of Montreuil is found brutally dismembered in his locked bedchamber, Police Chief Émile Vaudrin faces an impossible case. No forced entry. No witnesses. Only a chilling message written in blood: "The Debt is Paid."
As more nobles fall to the masked killers known only as The Syndicate, Vaudrin is caught between duty and morality. These aren't random murders—they're executions. Each victim hides unspeakable crimes behind their powdered wigs and silk finery.
Vaudrin's investigation leads him into the labyrinthine catacombs beneath Paris, where he discovers the truth is more terrifying than any ghost story. The Syndicate is no supernatural force—they're something far more dangerous: ordinary people driven to extraordinary measures.

Charlotte - The unmissable Pride...

Helen Moffett

Everybody believes that Charlotte Lucas has no prospects. She is unmarried, plain, poor and reaching a dangerous age. When she stuns the neighbourhood by accepting the proposal of buffoonish clergyman Mr Collins, her best friend Lizzy Bennet is appalled by her decision. Yet this is the only way Charlotte knows how to provide for her future. Her married life will propel her into a new world: not only of duty and longed-for children, but secrets, grief, unexpected love and friendship, and a kind of freedom. Jane Austen cared deeply about the constraints on women in Regency England. This powerful reimagining takes up where Austen left off in Pride and Prejudice, showing us a woman determined to carve a place for herself in the world. Charlotte offers a fresh, feminist addition to the post-Austen canon, beautifully imagined, and brimming with passion and intelligence.
