Sebastian St. Cyr Series (Books in Order)
Reading Order
The Sebastian St. Cyr series follows Viscount Devlin Sebastian St. Cyr, a former cavalry officer and reluctant nobleman who investigates often horrible murders in London. The series is set in the early 1800s in Regency-era England, during times of political unrest and strict class divisions. The cases consistently pull him into the darker corners of a society that would rather keep its secrets buried. His wife Hero, a rather perceptive woman who is quite unorthodox for her own timeline, is an important partner throughout the series.
