Maude Horton's Glorious Revenge
'Grisly, addictive fun . . . I devoured it in 24 hours' - Emilia Hart, author of Weyward In deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . . London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared. Maude, her older sister, knows only that Constance abandoned the apothecary they call home, and, disguised as a boy, boarded a ship bound for the Arctic. She never returned. 'A tragic accident', the Admiralty called it. But Maude Horton knows something isn't right. When she finds Constance's journal, it becomes clear that the truth is being buried by sinister forces. To find answers - and deliver justice for her sister - Maude must step into London's dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the city's horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussaud's. It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . . . 'Brilliant! Stuffed with adventure' - Stuart Turton, author of The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle 'A gripping adventure story' - Emma Stonex, author of The Lamplighters 'Victorian gothic at its very very best' - Susan Stokes-Chapman, author of Pandora

What is love? Is it something spiritual or wholly physical? Can our feelings be explained and quantified? Or are we all actually two halves of a whole? Ask Alice and Luke and you'd receive vastly different answers. Despite her world having been recently dismantled by a messy break-up, Alice would tell you that love is the most important - albeit ineffable - human experiences. But when she once again crosses paths with her old school nemesis, Luke, he challenges this. Luke is a scientist and he's certain love can be measured and explained - just like everything else. So the two decide to make a bet: they'll each venture back into dating and if one of them falls in love, Alice wins, if not, then Luke does. But can anyone win when you're playing with emotions?
