"In the start of an original fantasy series, Genevieve Cogman, the author of the bestselling The Invisible Library, welcomes you to Graynes, a magical school for demon-summoning. This is St Trinian's meets the legend of Faust.
Philomela once enjoyed the carefree life of a Cambridge Classics PhD - until her father's gambling debts forced her to trade prestigious academia for a job on the windswept Yorkshire Moors.
Graynes, an isolated all-girls school, offers a quiet - if terribly damp - lifeline. As the new Latin mistress, Phil expects nothing more taxing than dreary weather and making dead languages interesting. Instead, she finds unsettlingly eccentric staff, frankly terrifying schoolgirl pranks . . . and a demonic summoning circle in the cellar.
For Graynes, it turns out, is no ordinary school. But the training ground for the Queen's elite demonologists.
Guarding the realm from the forces of hell was certainly not on the job description. But as Phil is plunged into a world of dark arts, talking familiars (and many custard creams), she uncovers a sinister plot that threatens not just the school, but the fate of England itself . . .

"England, 1793. Vampire und menschliche Aristokraten leben Seite an Seite. Das Bluttrinken ist eine geregelte Angelegenheit, gemordet wird höchstens im Geheimen. Als in Frankreich die Revolution ausbricht, setzt eine Gruppe von verwegenen Kämpfern alles daran, die französische Königsfamilie vor der Guillotine zu retten. Ihr Deckname: die Liga des Scarlet Pimpernel. Unvermittelt sieht Eleanor sich in dieses Abenteuer verstrickt, ein Dienstmädchen mit starker Ähnlichkeit zu einer hochgestellten Persönlichkeit. Ihr Auftrag: nach Frankreich reisen und in die Rolle von Marie Antoinette schlüpfen. Als eine Magierin von ihr Besitz ergreifen will, wird ihr klar, dass neben der Französischen Revolution auch ein uralter Krieg zwischen Zauberern und Vampiren stattfindet - und sie sich mitten darin befindet."
"Revolutionary France is full of blood and bite . . .
1793. Eleanor, once a lowly English maid, is now a member of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel: renowned for their daring deeds, and for rescuing aristocrats and vampires from the guillotine. When the notorious French diplomat Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand goes missing, Eleanor and the League leap into action. But they uncover two vampire factions feuding for control over humanity's fate. Talleyrand's disappearance is part of a larger, more dangerous scheme - one that threatens to throw France into bloody chaos . . .
As the mutiny continues, a once-dead queen stalks the streets of Paris and the Scarlet Pimpernel is nowhere to be found. Eleanor must take control of her own fate. If she doesn't, she may find herself the victim of the very people she came to save.
The thrilling follow-up to Scarlet, Elusive by Genevieve Cogman is a witty, inventive retelling of the Scarlet Pimpernel, perfect for fans of The Invisible Library series, Kim Newman and Gail Carriger."
"Revolution's a bloodthirsty business . . . Scarlet is a thrilling reinvention of the tale of The Scarlet Pimpernel with the addition of magic and even more mayhem.
Revolutionary France is no place to be, especially for aristocrat vampires facing the guillotine. But the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel are determined to rescue them. And they have an ace up their sleeve: Eleanor, a lowly maid from an English estate with a striking resemblance to French royalty.
For Eleanor, the League and their legendary deeds are little more than rumour - until she's drawn into their most dangerous plot yet. The mission? Travel to France in disguise, impersonate Queen Marie Antoinette and rescue the royal family. If they succeed, it'll be the heist of the century.
But there's more to fear than ardent Revolutionaries. For Eleanor stumbles across a centuries-old war between vampires and their fiercest enemy. And they're out for blood . . .
Scarlet is the first book in the Scarlet Revolution trilogy, set during the turbulent French Revolution, and featuring all of Genevieve Cogman's trademark wit and fast-paced plotting. It's perfect for fans of The Invisible Library series, Kim Newman and Gail Carriger.
