Officially known as the Honourable Revelstoke Templeton-Vane, third son of the sixth Viscount Templeton-Vane, Stoker is a surly, handsome naturalist with his own troubled past and a surprising (and endearing) feminist streak. Through a series of misadventures - including an attack at her home during her aunt’s funeral… how rude! - she finds herself in the company of Stoker. She’s a lepidopterist - that’s a butterfly hunter - with an affinity for adventure, and she’s armed with a tongue that’s as finely honed as the hatpin she wields as a weapon.
Our intrepid heroine Veronica Speedwell (secret and semi-legitimate daughter of the Prince of Wales) is a handful and a half.
