Description
Something Dangerous by Penny Vincenzi is a historical family saga and the second novel in The Spoils of Time Trilogy, following No Angel and preceding Into Temptation.
In 1928, Lytton twins Adele and Venetia celebrate their eighteenth birthday surrounded by wealth, privilege and the influence of their family’s powerful publishing empire. But as Nazi Germany rises, the world they have always taken for granted begins to change, bringing challenges neither twin could have anticipated. Meanwhile, Barty Miller, rescued from London’s slums as a baby by Celia Lytton, has grown into a clever and ambitious young woman whose life takes a very different path from that of the twins. As their lives become increasingly complicated, ambition, loyalty and unexpected temptations threaten to reshape the family and its future.
Spanning a turbulent period of twentieth-century history, this novel continues the Lytton family’s story through personal rivalries, changing social circumstances and the consequences of choices made across generations.
