Welcome to The Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice.
This is a really fun meme!

Exile For Dreamers
Stranje House Series #2
by Kathleen Baldwin
My 56 from the hard cover book
“Doesn’t she know she could go to the gallows for her treachery?”
Maya answered with a quiet but troubling truth. “I believe Lady Daneska fears very little.”
“She’s an irrational creature.” Georgie’s hands balled into fists. “No better than a common viper.”

Synopsis
It’s 1814. Napoleon has escaped his imprisonment on Elba. Europe is in shambles. Britain is at war on four fronts. And at Stranje House, a School for Unusual Girls, five young ladies are secretly being trained for a world of spies, diplomacy, and war.
Tess Aubreyson can’t run far enough or fast enough to escape the prophetic dreams that haunt her. Dreams bring nothing but death and grief, and Tess refuses to accept that she may be destined for the same madness that destroyed her mother. Until her disturbing dreams become the only means of saving Lord Ravencross, the man she loves, and her fellow students at Stranje House. Tess’s old friend, the traitorous Lady Daneska, and Ghost, the ruthless leader of the Iron Crown, have returned to England, intent on paving the way for Napoleon’s invasion. Can the young ladies of Stranje House prevail once more? Or is England destined to fall into the hands of the power-mad dictator?
