London, 1800. The Grey Patriots-Rowan, Ros, and Eliza-stand on the edge of mercy. The Crown offers them an Act of Pardon sealed in crimson wax: sign it, and their names are cleared. Refuse it, and they remain outlaws hunted to the grave.

But when reformist Lord Bray demands justice for all political prisoners, the trio is thrust into a deadly game. A secret faction known as the Circle Remnant offers them a twisted bargain: assassinate Bray, and wear the Paper Crown. Save him, and spend the rest of their lives running.

As blackthorn blossoms-white for innocence, crimson for blood-begin appearing on scaffolds and in alleyways, the people start to rise. Now, Ros and Rowan must choose: accept a gilded cage of royal forgiveness... or vanish into the open ground, printing truth in ink and planting rebellion one petal at a time.

From the smoky chambers of Parliament to the river-dark crypts beneath Vauxhall, The Paper Crown weaves a tale of loyalty, sacrifice, and the quiet revolutions that begin with a single printed page.

About the Author

Seraphina Sinclair writes bold, intoxicating historical fiction where danger and desire walk hand-in-hand. Her critically acclaimed Phantom Chronicles series plunges readers into the gin-soaked shadows of 18th-century Europe, where master thief and folk legend Kit Valentine outwits empires with nothing but a razor wit, a stolen unicorn talisman, and a black silk ribbon hiding secrets even her lovers dare not touch.
A former stage actress turned clandestine storyteller, Seraphina draws on history's forgotten rebels to craft tales of fierce women who rewrite their fate-one heist, one kiss, one betrayal at a time. Her books blend meticulously researched period detail with open-door romance, slow-burn tension, and the kind of loyalty that survives hangings, drownings, and heartbreak.

We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence.
