From Katie Grant, the author of Blood Red Horse and Green Jasper, comes the recipe for the perfect historical read:
1 feisty heroine - Alice de Granville
1 traitorous (but charming) relative - Uncle Frank (deceased)
2 valiant men - none other than Uncle Frank's executioner, Dan Skinslicer, and Captain Hew Ffrench of the King's Dragoons.
Add Alice's heartfelt certainty that Uncle Frank' s remains must be safely returned to Hartslove, a headlong flight on horseback, disguises, the ever-gossipy London mob and the devastating effect of Alice's blue eyes, for a brilliantly funny, exciting adventure. You won't want it to end!
