A marked heroine. A fox guardian sworn to protect her. A magical world hidden beneath Regency London.
Penelope Sinclair returns home, but it is not the homecoming she expected. The wards are broken. The Council is waiting.
And the moment her magic stirs, everyone in the room goes still like they have been fearing this for years.
They call her marked. They call her dangerous. They assign a fox Guardian to her side and expect her to obey.
Penelope has never been good at obedience. Especially not when no one will tell her what went wrong, what woke inside her, or why the world suddenly seems to be holding its breath.
Something is working behind the scenes. And it already knows her name.
