Blurb:

In 1901 Oxford, Lilian “Lily” Delaney works as an apprentice to a master bookbinder, trapped between her father’s failing bookshop and the limitations of a male-dominated profession. When a burned book arrives from a collector, she discovers a hidden fifty-year-old letter telling a tale of forbidden love, lost fortune, and murder.

Drawn into the mystery, Lily becomes determined to uncover the full story, following the trail through rare books, secret pages, and hidden archives. But she is not the only one seeking the truth. Unscrupulous collectors and dangerous adversaries are also hunting for the missing volumes, willing to do whatever it takes to possess them.

Her quest takes her from the eccentric booksellers of London to the private libraries of the elite, and through dusty society archives, each step revealing more about the lovers’ tragic fate. As the danger escalates, Lily must navigate treacherous schemes, hidden agendas, and her own growing obsession with the story.

Every discovery brings her closer to the truth—and closer to peril. With sinister forces closing in, Lily must decide whether exposing the secret is worth risking her own life.
