Gradually they grow closer Dorian offers her protection and all the resources at his disposal, and Farah reminds him of the softer, kinder, gentler side of human nature. Dorian cannot deny Farah anything, but he also resorts to cruelty to keep her at a distance. Farah alternates between fascination with and hatred for Dorian, simultaneously drawn to his ugly past and repelled by the violence and anger surrounding him. There are no flowers, soft words of poetry, or gentle strains of music. But all Farah wants is a child of her own. He knows all of Farah’s secrets, even her true identity as an heiress, and he offers her the opportunity to reclaim her inheritance and to avenge Dougan’s death.
Dorian learned harsh lessons of survival from his youth in Newgate Prison alongside Farah’s childhood sweetheart, Dougan. When Farah Mackenzie is unexpectedly abducted, the last thing she expects is a second chance at love-especially with Dorian Blackwell, a shadowy figure in London’s criminal underground. Byrne’s gritty first Victorian Rebels novel doesn’t flinch from Victorian London’s darker side.
