In 1692, Bridget Bishop was hanged as a witch. Two hundred years later, her legacy lives on in the scions of two very different lines: one dedicated to using their powers to heal and help women in need; the other, determined to grasp power for themselves by whatever means necessary. This clash will play out in the fate of Annis, a young woman in Gilded Age New York who finds herself a pawn in the family struggle for supremacy. She'll need to claim her own power to save herself - and resist succumbing to the darkness that threatens to overcome them all.

Galen is a young soldier returning from war; Rose is one of 12 princesses condemned to dance each night for the King Under Stone. Together Galen and Rose will search for a way to break the curse that forces the princesses to dance at the midnight balls.

But malevolent forces are working against them above ground as well.

Eugenie Bearhani (1760-1835) was born in Calcutta, raised in Haiti, and brought as a servant - a free woman of color - to America by an English officer on the eve of the American Revolution. Yet none of that prepared Eugenie for her next employer: Colonel Aaron Burr, who some whispered had made a pact with the devil. The lines between master and servant soon tangle and blur, and first attraction becomes dangerous obsession. Many historians deny she even existed, but she and the children she bore to Burr were very real - so was her little-known marriage to America's first true villain.

Evan Eldridge never meant to be a war hero - he just wanted to fight Napoleon for the future of his country. And he certainly didn't think that saving the life of a peer would mean being made the Earl of Whitelock. But when the life you save is dear to the Prince Regent, things can change in a hurry. Now Evan has a new title, a manor house in shambles, and a stranger for a bride, all thrust upon him by a grateful ruler. What he doesn't have are all his memories. Traumatized as a result of his wounds and bravery on the battlefield, Evan knows there's something he can't quite remember.

A Bored, Mumble through an Alt-Georgian England
Make no mistake: K.J. Whittaker is a promising writer with sparkle and imagination. And as a big consumer of alternate history, I always prefer stories that focus on people over the "Point of Departure," letting the alternate historical pathway play out in the background. Whittaker does that, but unfortunately takes it too far for my taste, making this essentially a standard historical romance novel. That would be forgivable but for Spurgin-Hussey's flat, mumbling narration. I honestly gave her five hours of my time, but even with the volume turned up to the max, I often found myself rewinding to figure out what happened. Even in moments of crisis (e.g., the murder of a significant character), Spurgin-Hussey sounds like she is reading from a laundry list. I'm returning this one.

So Good I Listened Twice...
...and will listen again! A brilliant, rollicking twist on history with wonderfully dimensional, relatable characters all brought to life by the talented Emma Spurgin-Hussey. If you’re a fan of historical fiction, you will love this clever “what if” take on English history complete with a mixed-race female heroine, tasteful romance, and plenty of action to keep you wondering what will happen next. Choosing the perfect narrator is so important, and K.J. Whittaker hit the proverbial nail on the head with her choice of Ms. Spurgin-Hussey.
