Book Description:
Haunted by a crushing fear of
death, a young Victorian woman discovers the secret of eternal youth—she must
surrender her life to attain it, and steal heartbeats to keep it.
In 1860 Surrey, a young woman has
only one occupation: to marry. Senza Fyne is beautiful, intelligent, and lacks
neither wealth nor connections. Finding a husband shouldn’t be difficult, not
when she has her entire life before her. But it’s not life that preoccupies her
thoughts. It’s death—and that shadowy spectre haunts her every step.
So does Mr. Knell.
Heart-thumpingly attractive, obviously eligible—he’d be her perfect match if
only he wasn’t so macabre. All his talk about death, all that teasing about
knowing how to avoid it…
When her mother arranges a
courtship with another man, Senza is desperate for escape from a dull
prescripted destiny. Impulsively, she takes Knell up on his offer. He casts a
spell that frees her from the cruelty of time and the threat of death—but at a
steep price. In order to maintain eternal youth, she must feed on the
heartbeats of others.
It’s
a little bit Jane Austen, a little bit Edgar Allan Poe, and a whole lot of
stealing heartbeats in order to stay young and beautiful forever. From the posh
London season to the back alleys of Whitechapel, across the Channel, across the
Pond, across the seas of Time…
How far will Senza Fyne go to
avoid Death?
