“A rich tapestry of scenic delight, intrigue, and misdirection in the Regency and Early Victorian era. A riveting novel, rich with unique characters that are not all who they seem to be. Some are better than their initial actions would suggest; some are worse. However, through it all, the fabulous and highly intelligent horse Midnight remains the center of this complex weaving of truths, lies, and attempted thefts.”
—Liza O’Connor, author of The Adventures of Xavier & Vic series and A Long Road to Love series
