What to expect
Brought to you by Penguin.
Cecilia Bassingwaite belongs to a very prestigious circle of women: The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels.
Yet this is no ordinary Victorian lady's society - as it's full of pirates, thieves and ne'er-do-wells.
These women spend their days pickpocketing and blackmailing their way around the country all before it's time to sit down for tea.
But when Cecilia meets Ned Lightbourne her world is set to change forever.
Because he's a paid assassin and she's his next hit.
Under the employment of the dastardly Captain Morvath - who wants to rid the world of these Lady Scoundrels - Ned knows he has one job to do.
But when he lays eyes on the feisty, beautiful Cecilia he's faced with a conundrum: does he kill her or fall in love with her?
Bridgerton meets Peaky Blinders in this swashbuckling tale of scoundrels and society, crime and crumpets. As these enemies turn to allies and might just fall in love along the way . . .

Critics Review
As much fun as the English language will permit
Melds the Victorian wit of Sherlock Holmes with the brash adventuring of Indiana Jones . . . A sprightly feminist tale that offers everything from an atmospheric Gothic abbey to secret societies
A joyride of a debut . . . As if The Parasol Protectorate series met The Princess Bride and a corseted Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
With secret identities, secret doors, and secret histories to spare, this high-octane layer-cake of escapism hits the spot.
If books are truly a portable magic, then The Wisteria Society of Lady Scoundrels is a satchel full of powerful spells and glittering fairy dust
The most delightfully bonkers historical fantasy romance of 2021! I enjoyed every absorbing moment
The most charming, clever, and laugh-out-loud funny book I’ve read all year . . . India Holton’s utterly delightful debut is pure joy from start to finish.
India’s debut is charming, clever, action-packed, with masterful bantering-while-dueling choreography: it reminds me of The Princess Bride, except swoonier and more fantastical. It’s an instant beloved favorite.
The perfect diversion for a rainy afternoon with a cup of tea. What fun!
Magnificent in every sense. India Holton’s writing is gorgeous and lyrical, her dialogue clever and witty, and her characters loveable and unforgettable
A tongue-in-cheek swashbuckling adventure
