Victorian Historical

A Last Kind of Empire

Isla Bannock

Elspeth Vale was supposed to secure her father’s future with one obedient yes. Instead, she refuses Lord Haverford before a room full of London witnesses—and before dawn a blood-marked ledger appears on the steps of her father’s Belgravia house. The book bears the crest of the Imperial Textile Concern and a warning: if she marries Haverford, the ledger disappears. If she wants to know what her father’s empire truly costs, she must come alone to an abandoned dye house before noon. Elspeth has spent her life learning the rules that keep respectable women safe. Now every rule points back toward silence. Following the ledger means risking family, reputation and the only world she has ever known. Ignoring it may mean becoming part of the machinery it records.
