COMING SOON

Lady Roberta van Ravnsteyn is twenty-six, lately widowed under circumstances she would rather not discuss, and the daughter of a Highland witch burnt at the assizes. She has an unfortunate good memory for ink, a sister whose errands grow stranger by the week, and a fixation for proving the river wrong: that she is a witch, even without powers.

Then a charred box surfaces with her own death notice inside it. A printer in Wapping mistakes her for her sister. A drunken pirate keeps appearing at the edges of her business with the wrong manners and the wrong information, and she has begun to suspect he is neither drunk nor incidental.

Somewhere between a Bridgetown shipping record and a masquerade her sister will not explain, Roberta walks into a kidnapping meant for another woman and out of the world as she knows it.
