    Summary

    Penelope Featherington starts the new social season with a mission: To make Eloise Bridgerton forgive her for lying to her for literal years. This will not be helped by the fact that she has to bring back Lady Whistledown for good to secure her family's dire financial situation, but she still has to try. Eloise is her best friend after all!

    Colin Bridgerton also has a mission: To make Penelope Featherington forgive him for telling the whole world she isn't marriage material. To ensure he succeeds, he comes up with a brilliant plan to get back into her good graces and get the happy-ever-after she deserves to boot. (Colin Bridgerton is an idiot.)

    ***

    Continuation of season 2. Spoilers for season 2. TV-continuity. Season 3 speculation. Polin-centric with a hearty dash of Penloise-friendship.

    Summary

    Lucy left them in the middle of the night, after their horrible fight, over 3 months ago. If you asked, Lockwood would say they're coping, but that would be a lie. He and his remaining teammates are looking for a way - any way - to get her back when the perfect opportunity falls right into their lap. Lucy is called back home after strange occurrences at the former site of Wythburn Mill suggest that the Visitor responsible for ruining her life isn't entirely as gone as they'd all hoped. And, come on, were they really going to let her face this thing on her own?

    Summary

    Aleksander is in need of a Shu translator, a smart one, to help with an intercepted cipher. Luckily he finds Alina Starkova just sitting there in Poliznaya. He feels an instant connection with the talented woman and invites her to join his oprichniki, but it turns out she is nothing like she first appeared and navigating that will be a challenge all on its own.

    Summary

    "While I am certain she's nominally literate," Aleksander replies silkily, "I rather think one should strive to apply that knowledge to something beyond shallowly posing in front of contemporary art as a social signifier in order to sell bath products to teenage girls. She's had ample opportunity and platform to make something worthwhile before now, and simply hasn't."

    -

    Wherein a popular influencer who should know better finds herself in a parasocial relationship with an art critic who disdains everything she stands for.
