Silk and Shadows: The Silk Trilogy, Book 1

Written by Mary Jo Putney

Narrated by Siobhan Waring

He called himself Peregrine, the wanderer, and he came to London for revenge...

Like the falcon he named himself for, Peregrine is wild and free, an exotic prince who fascinates 1839 London with his wealth, mystery, and dangerous allure. He emerged from his mysterious Asiatic past to exact retribution for an appalling crime. Nothing and no one can stop him—except perhaps Lady Sara St. James, whose fragile beauty conceals a gentle heart, genuine goodness, and a soul of steel.

Unable to resist his seductive charm, Lady Sara turns away from her ordered life to embrace a man she loves, but cannot fully trust. In Sara, Peregrine sees a chance for a life beyond revenge. But can he keep her without revealing his devastating secrets? Or protect her from the enemy he has vowed to destroy?

Reviews for Silk and Shadows

[susie · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Very original. Or at least very different. This one is memorable.

[Jane Engelhardt · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This one is pretty exciting. So glad I discovered this series. There are few stupid actions taken in order to move the plot as one often finds and the issues that challenge the HEA are plausible and not silly at all. Even though you know where it will end, the trip there is super fun and a bit thrilling. I can’t wait to read Ross’ story next. This is definitely worth a read in my opinion.
