About the book
Penny Vincenzi masterfully weaves a narrative filled with historical intrigue, complex characters, and emotional depth in this gripping second installment in the Spoils of Time trilogy.
Set against the backdrop of the 1920s and 1930s, Something Dangerous follows the dazzling Lytton twins, Adele and Venetia, who are born into the prestigious Lytton publishing empire.
On their eighteenth birthday in 1928, they are wealthy, admired, and brimming with confidence. As the specter of Nazi Germany looms, their privileged world begins to darken in unimaginable ways.
The story also follows Barty Miller, a clever and ambitious young woman rescued from the London slums by Celia Lytton. Filled with unexpected temptations and challenges, Barty's journey is a stark contrast to the twins'.
As family secrets unravel and the threat of war grows, the lives of these characters intertwine in a compelling tale of love, ambition, and resilience.
