The Secret Book Society

A captivating new historical novel from Madeline Martin, set in Victorian London about a forbidden book club, dangerous secrets, and the women who dare to break free.

You are cordially invited to the Secret Book Society…

London, 1895: Trapped by oppressive marriages and societal expectations, three women receive a mysterious invitation to an afternoon tea at the home of the reclusive Lady Duxbury. Beneath the genteel facade of the gathering lies a secret book club—a sanctuary where they can discover freedom, sisterhood, and the courage to rewrite their stories.

Eleanor Clarke, a devoted mother suffocating under the tyranny of her husband. Rose Wharton, a transplanted American dollar princess struggling to fit the mold of an aristocratic wife. Lavinia Cavendish, an artistic young woman haunted by a dangerous family secret. All are drawn to the enigmatic Lady Duxbury, a thrice-widowed countess whose husbands’ untimely deaths have sparked whispers of murder.

As the women form deep, heartwarming friendships, they uncover secrets about their marriages, their pasts, and the risks they face. Their courage is their only weapon in the oppressive world that has kept them silent, but when secrets are deadly, one misstep could cost them everything.

The Nightshade

Laila Vaish is the Nightshade.

After fleeing her family and vanishing into the Lower City, Laila survives by selling secrets and sabotage, burying the moral cost beneath the gold she earns. But when a high-profile job goes sideways, she’s caught by the cunning councilman Jelani Cadmar, known for his defiance of the royal vizier. He offers her a choice: rot in prison or spy for him inside the palace.

To protect her own secrets, Laila agrees.

Disguised as one of the Aristocracy, Laila is swept into the personal and political intrigue surrounding the Council of the Sultan. But when she begins to fall for the prince she’s meant to manipulate, the lines between duty and desire blur. As the royal vizier closes in and the lies pile up, Laila must decide: save herself or risk everything to save Aveena.

Shay Rodricks

Shay Rodricks started her storytelling journey in musical theater and obsessively reading fantastical worlds from her favorite authors. She fell in love with writing as a way to tell the stories she wants to read and explore the worlds she wants to explore.

Her titles other than author include: coffee queen, tattoo addict, trashy tv lover, wishful dragon rider, dancer, world traveler (when she can afford it), and chocoholic. Shay currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her wonderful hubs, their (mostly) angelic kiddos, an old man dog, and a ball python named Steve.

After graduating from Mercer University, Shay became an active member in the Atlanta writing community and is now a board member for Broadleaf Writers Association.
