1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
A Scarlet Pimpernel Reimagining with Fairies and Magic The Fair Folk are stealing children. One man is stealing them back. When Miss Lilybeth Rose Hathaway and her family arrive in Ardmond for the season, Lily can’t help but be charmed by wealthy, popular Theo Overton’s lovely manners and genuine affection. The Hathaways are soon elevated far beyond what they might have imagined, and like everyone else, they are captivated by rumors of the national hero known as the Wraith, who is saving human children from the terrors of the Fair Court. The arrival of the Special Envoy of the Fair Court tasked with capturing the Wraith frightens everyone. But the Wraith is far too clever to be captured… until the stakes become personal. The Wraith and the Rose is a delightful reimagining of The Scarlet Pimpernel in a Victorian-inspired setting with dangerous Fair Folk and a love worth dying for.

A delightful fantasy retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel with fairies! Any issues I had with character development or pacing was resolved when I remembered the original book was similar. The fae are kidnapping human children, and one man steals them back. He is known as the Wraith.

Lily Hathaway has her society debut and quickly catches the eye of Theo Overton. And soon finds herself deep in the cat-and-mouse game between Fairy and Wraith.
