I can’t wait to read this - from a fellow shortlisted author in the Historical Novel Society’s first chapters competition!!!

The shadowy world of 1890 Baku. A thrilling tale of oil spies, treachery and a mysterious Faberge egg. Two characters: Anton - bereaved and bankrupt, Klara - suspicious and secretive. Forced to tolerate each other in a deathly game. #Histfic #Booklaunch books2read.com/u/mq5w91

The Beta Readers I found through @TSNOTYAW were a huge help w/the final line edits for my submission. Thank you @BiancaM_author - it's so great to have other historical novelists cheering on my story of a real-life female Indiana Jones searching for treasure in 1930s Persia!
