A Victorian hunt for dangerous books

Set in Victorian England in 1893, the novel follows Naomi Gladwyn after she escapes the prospect of a London workhouse and finds an adopted family and close friends. Her new life includes hunting “Dark Books” with her father, Mr. Stafford: volumes whose emotional influence can compel readers to act on what they contain, sometimes with deadly consequences. Alongside that supernatural premise, the description points to a personal secret rooted in Naomi’s past and the question of whether people are defined by their faults. The story brings together book-centered danger, family ties, and the strain of a past mistake whose revelation threatens Naomi’s hard-won life.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Victorian-era fiction.
  • Readers drawn to supernatural stories centered on books and their influence.
  • Readers interested in stories about secrets, family, and the consequences of past mistakes.

Are we defined by our faults?

Victorian England - 1893

Naomi Gladwyn's life went from abominable to amazing. Narrowly avoiding life in a dismal London workhouse, she ended up with an adopted family and dear friends. This new life, however, is not without its thorns.Much of her time revolves around Dark Books - books that are so emotional, so influential, that a reader cannot help but carry out what is written, often with deadly results. She now hunts these dangerous tomes with her father, Mr. Stafford.But a past mistake, a torturous secret, haunts her and - when revealed - puts everything she has and everything she ever wanted in jeopardy.
