1990: The Dukes Of Mallard
Viscountess Viola Vorpel
The Fitzartur–Mallard-Canard line has been called many things across fifteen centuries—noble, degenerate, illustrious, extinct. I call them what they are: a family too ancient to matter, too absurd to vanish, too entangled with history to be believed. Their dukes never laboured, their dowagers never slept and their servants never forgot. This book is not a history—it is a ledger of deceits, a satire of pedigree, a love-letter to folly. Read it as you will. I shall not explain myself further, for by the time you find these words, I shall be gone.
