These Old Shades

Georgette Heyer's swashbuckling Georgian masterpiece follows the enigmatic Duke of Avon as he discovers a young 'boy' in a Parisian tavern—who turns out to be something far more intriguing. What begins as a whim becomes a dangerous game of secrets, revenge, and unexpected devotion across the glittering courts of 18th-century France. Witty, dramatic, and utterly romantic, this is Heyer at her finest. Perfect for fans of historical romance with bite, intrigue, and unforgettable characters.
