Matters of Consequence: The Complete Society Edition Scandals, Secrets, and Strategies for the Discerning Conversationalist
In society, every choice has an audience.
Matters of Consequence: The Complete Society Edition brings together the glittering, treacherous world of Regency society in one expanded collection of secrets, rivalries, reckonings, and drawing room mischief.
Inside, readers will step into a world of candlelit balls, country house parties, whispered scandals, dangerous flirtations, family secrets, shifting alliances, broken betrothals, and reputations balanced on the edge of a fan. Every scenario places you at the center of the dilemma, where manners are strategy, silence is power, and one wrong word may alter an entire season.
This complete edition includes Regency “what would you do?” scenarios designed for solo reading, group discussion, book clubs, dinner parties, and evenings that would be greatly improved by a little scandal. Alongside the dilemmas, readers will also find bonus parlour games created to bring the world of the Ton off the page and into conversation.
Will you protect a friend from ruin, expose a rival, conceal a family secret, accept the safer match, pursue the dangerous one, or turn society’s judgment into your finest performance?
Each situation poses the same irresistible question:
What would you do?
Perfect for Regency fans, historical drama lovers, book clubs, clever hosts, and anyone who enjoys social strategy served beneath chandeliers.
Step into the drawing room, hear the whispers, and decide what reputation is worth.
