A compulsively entertaining historical YA novel that blends dark academia with scandal, murder mystery, and queer romance. In Regency England, Cascabel Gray dreams of freedom and disguises herself as a boy to secure a place at Oxford University. Her plans are disrupted when she receives a blackmail letter from Charles Lafleur, a member of the notorious Rogues Club, threatening to expose her. When Lafleur is found dead, Cascabel becomes a prime suspect. To clear her name, she infiltrates the Rogues Club and begins her own investigation, leading her life to spiral out of control. She must navigate her dual identities, attracting both fellow student William Grenville and a chambermaid known as Mouse, while even attending a ball with an Austrian prince. Can she balance her double life and prove her innocence before it’s too late? This story combines cosy crime, queer romance, and dark academia in a fast-paced plot, perfect for fans of Agency for Scandal and Laura Steven. With a fierce protagonist who fluidly shifts between identities, it offers a vibrant, modern sensibility alongside the charm of a historical Regency setting, all while sensitively addressing themes of prejudice.
