What Angels Fear

In the tumultuous year of 1811, as the specter of revolution casts a long shadow over King George III's England, a brutal murder shatters the precarious calm. The body of a beautiful young woman is discovered on the hallowed altar steps of an ancient church near Westminster Abbey. All evidence, including a dueling pistol and a damning witness account, points to Sebastian St. Cyr, Viscount Devlin. A brilliant, albeit haunted, young nobleman scarred by his experiences in the Napoleonic Wars, Sebastian finds himself an instant fugitive, forced to flee for his life. Drawing upon his formidable skills honed on the battlefield, Sebastian embarks on a desperate quest to unmask the true killer and clear his name. His journey through London's labyrinthine society of intrigue and espionage leads him to unexpected allies, including the enigmatic Kat Boleyn, the woman who once broke his heart. As Sebastian delves deeper, he uncovers a conspiracy far grander than a single murder, one that threatens the very foundations of the British monarchy, and holds the key to his own salvation.
