About this audiobook

When Vivienne Harrington agreed to design the Dauphine, she expected silk, feathers, and society gossip… not an oilskin packet sewn into its crown, nor a coded ledger that could topple half the city’s elite. Now the shadowy Société de l’Oiseau Noir has surfaced, and they want their property back. Every whispered rendezvous, every glance across the auction floor, could be the moment an enemy strikes. With her friends drawn into a perilous game of misdirection, Vivienne must decide whether to hand the archive over, destroy it, or outwit those who would kill to possess it. From the smoky corners of London speakeasies to the ivy-shaded west door of the Assembly Rooms, danger follows like a well-tailored shadow. In a world where a woman’s reputation can be ruined faster than a feather can wilt, Vivienne will need every ounce of charm, wit, and nerve to survive—because in this city, the most dangerous thing you can wear… is the truth.
