Anything goes in love and war. Despite finally being free, Charlotte has never been more lost. Adrift on the sea, she’s surrounded by dozens of rebellious LaViolettes who are hungry for change but unwilling to get their hands dirty.

Some of the works are well-known, but there are also a host of names which will be new to most readers, and some surprises, such as J. Comyns Carr's King Arthur, rightly...
