Imogen Waterstone has always prided herself on being a thoroughly independent young woman, but now she is faced with an enemy she can''t take on alone.

That''s why she invites Matthias Marshall, infamous Earl of Colchester, to her home. Who better than the legendary explorer to help her lay the perfect trap?
