In the glittering ballrooms of Regency England, widows are expected to mourn quietly, smile politely, and disappear into the shadows. They do. That's precisely why no one notices them. After the sudden death of her cruel husband, Lady Evelyn Harrington believes her nightmare has finally ended. Instead, an unsigned black invitation draws her into a hidden world that has existed for centuries, where mourning veils conceal dangerous secrets and justice is delivered far from the eyes of society.

But the deeper the investigation goes, the clearer one truth becomes. Some monsters wear titles.
