A article writer and his demons. A woman and her wants. A partner and her revenge . . . Motivated by literature's most haunting love triangle, award-winning creator Lynn Cullen offers a pitch-perfect making of Edgar Allan Poe, his mistress's tantalizing confession, and his wife's frightening obsession . . . in this "intelligent, hot, and absolutely addictive" (M. J. Rose) new masterpiece of historical fiction. 1845: NEW YORK is a sprawling warren of gaslit roads and crowded strategies, bustling with new immigrants and old money, optimism and opportunity, poverty and criminal offense. Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" is extremely popular - the success which a struggling poet like Frances Osgood can only just dream. As being a mother trying to aid two young children after her husband's cruel betrayal, Frances jumps at the opportunity to meet the illustrious Mr. Poe at a tiny literary gathering, if only to help her fledgling job. Although not a great admirer of Poe's writing, she actually is nonetheless stressed by his magnetic occurrence - and the unusual revelation that he admires her work. What follows is a flirtation, a seduction, then an illicit affair . . . and with each clandestine face, Frances confirms herself falling slowly and gradually and inexorably under the spell of her secret, complicated lover. But when Edgar's frail partner Virginia insists on befriending Frances as well, the relationship becomes as dark and twisted as you of Poe's stories. And like those gothic heroines whose fates are permanently sealed, Frances begins to fear that deceiving Mrs. Poe may be as impossible as cheating fatality itself. . . .
