Description

History meets fantasy in A. Rushby's tale of sisterhood, betrayal and reclamation revolving around three Anatomical Venuses - ultra-realistic wax models of women - that come to life at night to murder men who have wronged them.

Seoul, present day: Antiques dealer Alys is paid a vast sum of money to transport one of three highly coveted Anatomical Venuses to the UK ... and then destroy it. It's a moment she's waited years for, and an offer she can't refuse.

London, 1769: After a chance meeting at the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens, young and inexperienced Eleanor is promised a life of luxury by the beautiful and charismatic Elizabeth and her protege, Emily. All she has to do is allow Elizabeth complete control of her destiny.

A Note From the Publisher

A. Rushby (also writing as Allison Rushby), was gifted the middle name of Jane, for Jane Austen. Wordsmithing was duly destined and, under several pseudonyms, she has published more than thirty books. She has long been a fan of cities steeped in history, wild, overgrown cemeteries, red brick Victorian museums, the curious and the uncanny. She prefers to write with a cup of French Earl Grey tea by her side and a cat curled up in her lap.
