This book has a modern premise- collect some orphaned girls from the London stews and train them into women warriors for the Crown. There are three best friends at the training school, and Siena, the first one given an assignment, is the focus of this story. The Black Dove has to infiltrate a
select antiquarian book club to find the traitor; a little mystery,a little society and a little romance.

This was a pretty good book. I tried to enjoy reading it but it was too wordy for my taste. When I find myself rolling my eyes at the over descriptive scenes I know it is just not working for me.
I really liked the storyline idea, take orphan girls from the stews and train them into spies and how to be a lady to help the Crown during the war.
Had it going with everything but the over kill on descriptions!
