Synopsis
Lady A is the most notorious blackmailer in the city. With just a mask and a gown to disguise her, she sweeps into lavish balls and exclusive events collecting the most valuable currency in 1725 London-secrets.
But leading a double life isn't easy. By day Lady A is just a seventeen-year-old girl named Arista who lives in fear of her abusive master,Bones, and passes herself off as a boy to move safely through the squalor of London's slums. When Bones attempts to dispose of his pawn forever, Arista is rescued by the last person she expects: Jonathan Wild, an infamous thief who moves seamlessly between the city's criminal underworld and its most elite circles. Arista partners with Wild on her own terms in order to save enough money to buy passage out of London.
Everything changes when she meets Grae Sinclair, the son of a wealthy merchant. Grae has traveled the world, seen the exotic lands Arista has longed to escape to her whole life, and he loves Arista for who she is-not for what she can do for him. Being with Grae gives something Arista something precious that she swore off long ago: hope. He has promised to help Arista escape the life of crime that has claimed her since she was a child. But can you ever truly escape the past?

About the Author
Lee Bross is the author of Fates and Chaos, written under the pen name Lanie Bross.
From School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up—An orphan finds her way in Oliver Twist-like London. Arista is indentured to a malevolent master who lords over her and dozens of other children. Her master's traffic is secrets (such as messages and blackmail payments). Arista dons disguises so convincing that she sometimes loses herself even to herself, amid shadowy and dangerous circumstances. As she comes of age, Arista rebels against her disguises and finds her voice and courage. She is lovely, smart, and fortunate. Her best luck is having a best friend and two boys who adore, champion, and protect her. Plot and character development go hand in glove in this historical work, supported by rich details about the intricate social and political hierarchy of industrializing London. The story line involves Arista attempting one tricky and dangerous mission after another. Each time, she outwits danger and discovery with her own cunning plus friends who have her back. The only romance in the novel is chaste. The title's setting matches that of important mainstays in the English curriculum, such as books by Charles Dickens and the Bronte sisters, but its contemporary style makes it easier to read than the classics. VERDICT A volume for historical fiction fans, which would also be a good choice for readers just getting into the genre.—Amy Thurow, New Glarus School District, WI
