The Prophet's Mantle

If you are looking for a great combination of romance and thriller, look no further.

This exhilarating crime and romance novel takes place in a Victorian society and uncovers a tale in the most unexpected way. Although it is one of her lesser-known works, it was written by both Nesbit and her husband Hubert Bland. This novel is the only book the unusual couple wrote together, and throughout the story, it is noticeable that both of them had socialist beliefs.

Culminating in a surprising plot twist, this book is recommended for thrill-seekers, romantics, fans of Sherlock Holmes, and anyone who is looking for mystery and drama.

Born in Kennington in 1858, Edith Nesbit wrote and co-authored over 60 beloved adventures at the beginning of the 20th century. Among her most popular books are "The Story of the Treasure-Seekers" (1899), "The Phoenix and the Carpet" (1904), and "The Railway Children" (1906). Many of her works became adapted to musicals, movies, and TV shows. Along with her husband Hubert Bland, she was among the first members of the Fabian society - a socialist debating club. A path in London close to her home was named "Railway Children Walk" in her honor, manifesting her legacy as one of the pioneers within the children’s fantasy genre.
