In Victorian England, Lady Eleonora Somerset is trapped in a gilded cage where her beauty is a commodity and her future a transaction. But beneath her exquisite gowns beats a heart yearning for a fierce, untamed freedom. A loveless marriage teaches her that to survive, she must take control. Her rebellion begins with a stolen, forbidden book, awakening a desire that will change everything. 
Her quest for freedom leads her from a passionate affair with a charismatic officer to the ruthless salons of Paris. There, she must choose between the intellectual dominance offered by an enigmatic Marquis and the raw power of an American industrialist. 
Eleonora becomes a formidable queen of her own making, a master of money and influence. But as her power grows, she discovers her throne is the most gilded cage of all, forcing her to confront the heartbreaking cost of the love she abandoned. 
Perfect for fans of sweeping historical romances with strong female characters, complex moral dilemmas, and the intricate social worlds of Downton Abbey and Philippa Gregory.

"And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting ..."

Written by Edgar Allan Poe and published in 1845, The Raven is one of the most famous poems in American literature. This gothic narrative poem follows a grieving scholar's descent into madness after a mysterious raven enters his study and answers his tormenting questions with the single, haunting word, "Nevermore".
Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849) was an American writer, poet, editor and literary critic known for his dark, atmospheric tales and haunting poetry. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in American literature, Poe helped shape the horror and science-fiction genres and is widely credited with inventing detective fiction in his 1841 short story, Murders in the Rue Morgue. Despite a life marked by personal tragedy and financial hardship, Poe produced a number of enduring classics such as TheRaven, The Tell-Tale Heart, and The Fall of the House of Usher, and since his somewhat mysterious death, he and his writings have had a wide-ranging influence in popular culture. In 1946, the Mystery Writers of America established the annual Edgar award, which honour the best in mystery fiction, non-fiction and film
