The Queen 'neath the Hedge came from nowhere, from out of reed and nightshade. She conquered two worlds and entwined them together, Britain to the Other Realm - home of the mysterious Umbra.
Four hundred years after her death, every Britain is still mortally bonded to an Umbra. But now her treaty is unravelling and Georgian England's salons and ballrooms are haunted by a rumour:
'She's coming back.'
Everyone is trying to stop her, but there's a problem: no one knows who, or where, or what she is.

Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary. The perfect tool falls into his lap in the form of Lady Margaret, the Poisoner's next target, but using Margaret to draw out the crime boss has Alexander examining his moral compass. As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all.
