But when she is forcefully taken to Evergreen, a breathtaking but mysterious mansion where she is ordered to work as a maid for its equally enigmatic inhabitants, she is robbed of the only thing she had left: her freedom. There, she encounters two groups of people. Those who, like herself, have been ripped of their independence and forced into servitude, and their young, rich and austere captors, the Evergreen people. As she gets familiar with life in her peculiar prison, memories that she kept buried try to resurface and she starts to suspect that the secrets kept within the walls of Evergreen might be more unnatural and dangerous than she could ever imagine. Will she be able to save herself and her new family from the storm that threatens to break on Evergreen or will her repressed guilt and fears cause her to lose the people she cares about once again?

The Poisoner's Game by BeatrixWritesProse

As the London Season of 1877 opens, Lady Margaret Savoy wants nothing more than to be invisible and devour "Penny Dreadfuls" to avoid the cruelty of her aunt and cousin. When she finds a letter from her grandfather warning her about a man called the Poisoner, a powerful crime boss who killed her parents, her wallflower days come to an abrupt end as she falls into a deadly investigation. Literally. Out a window, in fact, and right into the path of Lord Alexander Rocque, a young detective. Alexander offers his assistance-with the Poisoner, and the window-and together they set out to discover the Poisoner's plans. But Lord Alexander has plans of his own. Recently ordered home from the Royal Navy to assist his father, a spymaster for the Crown, with the Poisoner case, Alexander is determined to earn his father's respect by catching the criminal through any means necessary. The perfect tool falls into his lap in the form of Lady Margaret, the Poisoner's next target, but using Margaret to draw out the crime boss has Alexander examining his moral compass. As Margaret learns about her heritage and Alexander uncovers his father's affiliation with the East Indian Company, they discover that their families are not so innocent after all. To stay alive in the Poisoner's game, they must find the key to the dying Opium trade-a key Margaret may, in fact, possess herself. If they don't find it, the Poisoner will escape yet again, but even worse, Margaret will become the next victim.

Yet when he wakes up the next morning with no memory of it all, it slowly dawns on him that something had gone terribly wrong. The only question remained was, could he do anything to fix it?
