"Unconventional, ironic, charming, and totally joyful" - Hazel Prior, bestselling author of Away with the Penguins

A lost diary. A well-kept secret. A story waiting to be told.

Cleo Finch has loved Gothic literature her entire life. She has dedicated years to researching and writing her thesis on the works of a specific Gothic novelist, Orlando Browne, and is determined to prove that Browne was a pseudonym for a female author, Alys Weston.

However, as her best friend Tris constantly reminds her, she has yet to find concrete evidence to prove this. Until her uncle, Ambrose, gives Cleo Alys's diary.

As Cleo begins decoding Alys's daily entries, she finds herself engrossed in Alys's vivid descriptions—especially of the reckless Lord Rayven—and the challenges Alys faced trying to keep Orlando’s true identity secret.

And so, inspired anew, Cleo sets aside her thesis to write her own Gothic novel . . .
