Right at the end of The Rogue, the unthinkable happened. At a pinch, The Earl could work as a standalone, but I think anyone picking it up without having read any of the earlier books would be at a disadvantage.

This is also true of The Earl, which references storylines from the earlier series, as well as one of the plotlines begun in The Rogue. That correspondence continued throughout The Rogue, the first in the author’s Devil’s Duke series, which inhabits the Falcon Club universe and features a number of the same characters. ![]() Readers of Katharine Ashe’s Falcon Club series will be well aware of the frequent, public, and bitingly sarcastic correspondence that has gone on between the club’s secretary, Peregrine, and the anonymous Lady Justice, pamphleteer, moral crusader and regular denouncer of the abuses and injustices wreaked upon the voiceless masses by the wealthy and privileged. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() WF: Can you tell us about what ‘collections justifications’ are?ĬKM: Justifications are a museum tool that we research and write in order to acquire collections.
