Bright young socialite Antigone Finch is not your average, demure sixteen-year-old. When she finds herself unexpectedly expelled from school and betrothed to her first Cousin Charles, she is forced to take drastic action. With the help of two feisty friends, Antigone leaves the gas-lit streets of London and boards a steamship bound for India. But, has she really escaped? What happens next will change everything.
Antigone becomes ensnared in a cross-continent plot that threatens to thrust Europe into war. An ancient Indian artefact, an unbearably handsome Sikh spy, Austrian Secret Police and a London chambermaid tease apart this cloak and dagger thriller.
