For Jeff, who is very much the embodiment of
the legacy of Richard Penlerick in this story and
this series. Throughout his life Jeff loved others
unconditionally and gave generously of himself for the
betterment of this world. He left this earth the week
I finished this story, and it is safe to say,
our world is vastly improved because of him
and the lives he touched.

Note to Readers
London—June 18th, 1823
Death had officially come to Mayfair. Richard Penlerick, Duke of Newlyn, and his Duchess were buried, and the funeral witnessed by the ton’s finest that morning in the hopes of bringing closure to the tragedy that had stunned their exalted world a week earlier: a peer—a duke, no less—and his wife, stabbed to death in an alley after an evening theatre performance.
Eaton Falmage, Marquess of Lynford, closed the front door behind the last of the funeral guests, wishing he could just as easily shut the door on the week’s horror for the sake of those who remained within the Newlyn town house on Portland Square. But for them the journey into grief was only just beginning. Now that the pageantry of death was over, the real mourning could commence, as he and those closest to the Penlericks could give free rein to their emotions.
