'A delicious page-turner that brings 18th century Stockholm to
vivid life, complete with scandal, conspiracy, mystery, and a hint
of magic.' - Eleanor Brown, New York Times bestselling author of
The Weird Sisters In 18th century Stockholm, as the winds of
revolution rage through the great capitals of Europe, the key to a
nation's fate rests in the hands of an unlikely hero. Emil Larsson
is a drinker, card player and contented bachelor until he is told
that his position at the Office of Excise and Customs depends on
his settling down and finding a wife. Mrs Sparrow, proprietor of an
exclusive gaming house, fortune teller (and confidante of King
Gustav III) offers to lay an Octavo for him - a form of cartomancy
which can divine his future if he can find the eight individuals
who can help him realise his vision. When Mrs Sparrow wins a
mysterious fan in her card game, the Octavo's deeper powers are
revealed. No longer just a game of the heart, collecting his Eight
is now crucial to pulling his country back from the brink of
rebellion and chaos. A debut novel full of opulent period detail,
brilliantly interweaving history, romance and intrigue, in which
one man's fortune holds the key to a nation's precarious fate.
