It's England, 1783. When the rich and beautiful Sovay isn't sitting for
portraits, she's donning a man's cloak and robbing travelers in broad
daylight. But in a time when political allegiances between France and
England are strained, a rogue bandit is not the only thing travelers
fear. Spies abound, and rumors of sedition can quickly lead to
disappearances. So when Sovay lifts the wallet of one of England's most
powerful and dangerous men, it's not just her own identity she must
hide, but that of her father. A dazzling historical saga in which the
roles of thieves and gentry, good and bad, and men and women are
interchanged to riveting effect."
