Review

In this Regency style romance eighteen year old Lady Truthful is to inherit the family's precious Newington Emerald which has magical powers. The emerald is stolen and Truthful disguises herself as a Frenchman to find it. There is a cast of characters including a sorceress which gives the story an interesting twist. The story is silly at times making it a light and enjoyable read. The plot moves along at a rapid pace with much adventure and rescues. This novel is for fans of Regency romance with a bit of fantasy added for fun.

Overall Book Score: very good
