✦ Synopsis

A St. Croix Chronicles novella Although I have only been part of Society for
two years, I am already desperate to escape its confines and eager for adventure. The
world my deceased parents have left me is nothing more than a gilded prison, and I will
do anything to escape the boredom, even become a collector of bounties. My name is
Cherry St. Croix, and I may be young, but I am old enough to know when I am in over my
head. My first collection seemed easy: Mr. Strangeway’s debts have come due, and the
purse for his capture is hefty. Yet the wastrel remains one step ahead of me, and my
efforts are hampered by another collector after the same coin. What’s more, a simple
hunt becomes the forefront of a conspiracy that leads me on a chase through London’s
low-class streets. Not only does my pride demand success, but the well-being of many
rests upon the choices I make—failure is not an outcome I can live
with.
