A disgraced nobleman, a ruthless duke, and a woman whose honor hangs in the balance—Georgette Heyer’s dazzling debut is a tale of love, sacrifice, and high adventure. Jack Carstares, once the Earl of Wyncham, has lived for years under the shadow of scandal, branded a cheat for a crime he did not commit. Forced into exile, he takes to the roads as a highwayman, his life defined by secrecy and survival. But when the notorious Duke of Andover abducts the innocent Diana Beauleigh, Jack is drawn back into the perilous world of courtly intrigue, family betrayal, and duels fought by moonlight. With wit, romance, and a flair for historical detail, The Black Moth introduces readers to the genius of Georgette Heyer. More than a swashbuckling adventure, it is a story of redemption, courage, and the triumph of true love over every obstacle.
