1800 adventure comingofage femaleprotagonist fiction historical marriage rebellion romance royalty

In the conservative world of the 1800s, Madelyn Pawns stood out as anything but ordinary. With her fiery temper, stubborn nature, and a vocabulary that would make even the most seasoned sailors blush, she was a far cry from the ideal lady of the time. 

But when an unexpected opportunity lands at her doorstep, Madelyn finds herself facing a life-altering decision. Offered a position as the caretaker for a prince, she must confront the stark reality of her circumstances. Accepting the job means not only taming her wild spirit but also conforming to the rigid expectations imposed upon women of her era.

As Madelyn enters the opulent world of royalty, she discovers a realm filled with opulence, grace, and the pressures of societal conformity. Surrounded by courtly intrigue and aristocratic traditions, she grapples with the daunting task of transforming herself into a refined lady.

Yet, deep down, Madelyn wonders if conformity is truly the path she must take. Can she suppress her true self, her independent spirit, and embrace the role of a prim and proper lady? Or will she find a way to navigate this new world while trying to forgive herself for her father's death?

Refuge In The Shadows by EmilyLuong

Raised as Hunters in a hidden counterinsurgency society in the late nineteenth century, nineteen year old Welsh twins Carys and Cadeyrn Llewelyn have led brutal, unforgiving lives filled with heartbreak and pain. As the only female Hunter, Carys has proven her place among the males, but not without a terrible price. And while Carys is as self-sacrificing as ever, it's up to Cadeyrn to make sure he's there to pick up the pieces. When a mysterious Hunter from London beckons the twins and their friends to the city to eliminate a target, self discoveries are made, relationships are tested, and wounds are reopened. _____ "Cadeyrn, everything we have been through, everything we have sacrificed has come down to this moment. Steamboats and trains make travel exponentially faster. Industry has become the crown jewel of the country. Stringent moral codes are disintegrating. Everything that we used to take for granted has been distorted. Amidst all of this revolution, I see women restlessly gazing out their windows. They want a share of this exciting, new world. I have been privileged to have access to it and I do not want to be the only one...but I do not know if I am the right person to bring about this change," Carys whispered dejectedly. Cadeyrn sat on Carys's bed and enveloped her in a brotherly embrace. "Do not say such things about yourself. You are as strong and determined as Mam was." Carys gave Cadeyrn a watery smile and he returned to his own bed. Carys turned her body around so that she was facing the window. The curtains were pulled aside so she could see the stars littering the night sky. The gentle slopes of the hills stretched as far as the eye could see and the darkened shadow of the village was a speck off in the distance. At this breathtaking sight, Carys finally let the tears fall. Each teardrop held her fears, her anger, and her sadness. Why would one need to find refuge in the shadows if there is nothing to hide? Only in a perfect world.
