Juliet Kearley, the Mayor of Ebendale's daughter, learns the risks of being a woman in 1878 the hard way. Betrayed and ruined, she willingly offers her life to a boy whose eyes harbour hellfire. He seeks vengeance; she seeks an end. Two years later, that boy, once a nobody, becomes the most wanted criminal in Ebendale. Witness to his vindictive behaviour, Juliet makes it her goal to stop him before the flames she once saw dancing in his eyes strike the match to her town's destruction. In her endeavour, she ventures north of the river that cuts Ebendale in half and into Barnell Street-hell on Earth. But amid her investigation, she finds that her enemies might lie elsewhere. Sword fights, rooftop confessions and Royal Balls festoon the story of a girl who lost it all only to find so much more.
