In the ruthless underbelly of Victorian London, Delilah is a name etched in both fear and admiration. Branded a runaway, a criminal, and a defiant disgrace to her noble family, she built her own empire. An underground network that shelters the poor, the unwanted, and the broken.
Delilah meets a charming man, Christopher Danvers. An earnest scholar haunted by his parents' murder. Their worlds collide with distrust, sharp tempers, and dangerous misunderstandings.
As assassins, rival syndicates, and corrupt officials close in, Delilah must fight not only for her people, but for the city that would gladly see her hang. And Christopher must choose whether to stand with a woman the world calls a criminal, or walk away from the only person who ever made him question everything.
Victorian London is unforgiving.
So is she.
Power, peril, and a woman who refuses to bow.
