About this audiobook
A deadly colour. A desperate girl. And a fashion industry that doesn’t care who it kills.
It's London, 1859, Matilda Scheurer spends her days crafting delicate flowers for aristocratic hats, her fingers stained with a dazzling emerald dye. It’s the height of fashion, and laced with poison.
When Matilda is plucked from obscurity to model gowns in the most exclusive salon in Mayfair, it seems like a miracle. Higher pay. Finer fabrics. A chance to be seen.
But beneath the silk and satin lies something far more sinister. Nosebleeds. Tremors. A green tinge to everything she touches. As her body begins to betray her, Matilda uncovers a truth more toxic than the dye itself; no one is coming to save her. Not the workshop. Not the salon. Not even the newspapers that scream about fashion’s latest tragedy, because she’s not the tragedy. She’s just the next girl in line.
This short historical tale explores the price of beauty in an era when being fashionable could be fatal.
