What if a sword-wielding, outspoken time traveler found herself stuck in Regency England? *** Clara Eaton has a secret: she's a member of an elite time-travelling society, concealed in the heart of London. Clara has spent the last six years learning her Greek philosophers from her politicians, a toga from a thete, and how to escape from a battalion of sword-wielding soldiers. But when a graduation prank goes wrong, Clara finds herself trapped somewhere very different than Ancient Greece. Struggling to return home, Clara must learn to navigate the strange world of corsets and courtships in upper crust Regency England - including her unexpected feelings for the one man that she can never be with: Edmund, Duke of Kent. But something evil dwells in the underbelly of London, and Clara is quickly discovering that the person she trusts the most in this new world might just be the one that wants her dead. ** Content warning: This story contains mature sexual content and themes of drug use, language, and violence.
