About this ebook

An exhilarating novel, set in a Georgian world of highwaymen and tricksters, starring heiress Hero Devine. Hero is a girl who can hold her own, as notorious highwayman Jack Giles discovers to his cost when he tries to hold up her coach.

Accompanied only by her pet wolf Flow, Hero is escaping a childhood beset by the darkest horrors, and she soon recruits Jack to her own mission: to change the dreadful fate ordained for her by her evil family. As a reluctant Jack is drawn into her terrifying world, he discovers that she may hold the clues to his own mysterious past.

Fast-paced, fast-talking, jam-packed with narrow escapes and moonlit rides across a frosty heath, this is an irresistible adventure for fans of THE RUBY IN THE SMOKE and HETTY FEATHER.
