A compulsively entertaining historical YA novel that      playfully blends dark academia with scandal, murder mystery and queer      romance - like If We Were Villains meets Lex Croucher.         In Regency England, Cascabel Gray dreams of freedom - and disguises      herself as a boy to secure a place at Oxford University. After      all, she's as comfortable in breeches as she is in ballgowns.         Her plans are upended, however, when she receives a blackmail      letter from Charles Lafleur, a member of infamous secret society      the Rogues Club, threatening to expose her.         But when Lafleur is found dead, the plot thickens... and Cascabel      becomes a prime suspect in his murder. She joins the Rogues Club      to conduct an investigation of her own, and her life soon begins      to spiral out of control.       To survive, she must switch between her male and female personas,      attracting both fellow student William Grenville and a chambermaid      known as Mouse - and even attending a ball with an Austrian      prince. Can she find a way to balance her double life and clear      her name, before she loses everything?            This book combines the genius ingredients of cosy crime, queer      romance and dark academia, all wrapped up in a fast-paced, entertaining      plot - perfect for fans of Agency for Scandal, Laura      Steven and Lex Croucher.         A fierce, determined and irresistible protagonist who slips fluidly      between two identities and genders as Cascabel and Pom.         All the period-drama appeal of a historical Regency setting,      with a vibrant, modern sensibility and a sensitive handling of prejudice.         Joe's first novel, The Rules of Seeing, won the Romantic      Novelist Association's Debut Novel Award.               \"Utterly absorbing... compellingly blending historicalmystery and queer romance.\" - The Guardian","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45240665538743,"sku":"9780702339691","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9780702339691.jpg?v=1756901308","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780702339691","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
