When Thalia, Kalliope, and Charis set off to regency London for their first Season, they know excatly what they want. Thalia means to make her mark among the intelligentsia and publish her poetry, perhaps even be a little irresponsible. Her sister Kalli aims to take high society by storm, with parties and gowns galore and a proper husband at the end of it all. Their cousin Charis hopes to earn her place among the (nearly exclusive male) scientific elite -- and has no interest in the social scene whatsoever. Though their goals may be different, at least they'll all be debuting in society together. But the best-laid plans of Regency ladies tend to go awry, and this Season, it doesn't take long for things to fall apart. Kalli finds herself embroiled in scandal and reliant upon an arranged marriage to redeem her reputation, Thalia's dreams of becoming a great poet are threatened by her attraction to a charming rake, and Charis finds herself an expected social hit -- and the source of a scientific dilemma that her heart might not survive. Can these young women find their happily ever afters in this turbulent London Season?

In 1817 England, teenagers Thalia, Charis, and Kallie navigate a London Season gone awry.

Historical fiction.
