It’s 1810. Young Will Fairwell, recently failed divinity student, is enjoying the London season. Which, for him, means playing lots of whist, avoiding gold-diggers, and talking the ears off unsuspecting acquaintances. It’s all going well…until he runs into his boyhood nemesis at a party. Since Will is a self-confessed coward, it seems very likely he'll let Viscount Gallington chase him out of London. Or can he find the courage to take the advice of friends old and new…and get his well-earned revenge?
