The first of the Lovegrove Legacy series is a return to the wondrous story telling prowess of Alyxandra Harvey set in a time period which suits her style to a T.
For every reader who wished Bridgeton had some magic, devious plot and sensational secretes Alyxandra Harvey has the answer to your prayers in this beautifully imagined novel.
From the blurb;
'For Emma and her cousins, life in Regency London is a whirlwind of lavish balls and dashing suitors. But unlike other girls, they are not longing for marriage. A spell has been broken, a debutante lies dead at Emma's feet, frost clinging to her lifeless body, and a bright light is being cast into the cousins' shadowy past.
'Now the girls must embrace the true Lovegrove Legacy - even if it means risking their lives.'
While Harvey captures our romantic imagination with the gowns, balls and customs of Regency Britain she also spell binds us with her brilliant imaginings of magic, mystery and plot.
Filled to the brim with delicious secretes the true story of this novel is based deep in the past and in a power which begs to be revealed. As we explore what the magical communities of London's past looked like between each twirling gown at a socialite ball, we and the main characters must strive to juggle the complex political natures of each very different world. Will the people they fall in love with accept them for who they truly are? Or are the Lovegrove women cursed to hide in the shadows of London Bridge forever? .
Beautifully written and well crafted A Breath of Frost sets the stage for an exciting series and offers us characters we can not help but fall in love with.
