What if the only way to fly was to run away first?
In the rigid elegance of 1800s England, Annabelle Fielding appears to be the perfect young lady-beautiful, intelligent, and dutiful. But beneath the layers of lace and expectation, she hides a secret: a hunger for freedom, for passion, for words that are entirely her own.
When she's forced into an arranged marriage with the mysterious and charming Charles Darrow, Annabelle's world tightens around her like a corset. But just as the future seems sealed in ink and obligation, a secret poetry contest and a pseudonym-Bryan Witherford-open a door she never knew existed.
As her double life unfolds, Annabelle finds herself entangled in rebellion, betrayal, and the sweet, dangerous taste of independence. With the help of two loyal friends, a stolen identity, and a burning desire to be heard, she dares to rewrite her fate.
But how long can a girl pretend to be someone else before the truth demands to be known?
