'Rich, layered, and deeply thoughtful' - LUCY STEEDS
'A magnificent novel - vivid, moving and utterly convincing' - S.G. MACLEAN

In the suffocating summer of 1858, Sir Edwin Landseer faces the monumental task of sculpting the Trafalgar Square lions. The nation is watching, the Royal Academy is whispering, and the Queen herself expects brilliance. The press, his doctor and Edwin's inner demons predict disaster.

As the pressure mounts, beasts begin to stalk Edwin's increasingly alcohol-fuelled nightmares. His mind flees from stifling Victorian London to the freedom of the Scottish Highlands, the riotous days of the Regency and the woman who set his world alight. Georgina: older, adventurous and irreverent. Georgina: married to Edwin's most influential patron. Georgina: the love of his life. The world called it a scandal, but the world didn't know what it was talking about. The world should have called it a tragedy.

Based on real events and rumours that burned like wildfire, Noble Beasts is a story of art, sacrifice, and enduring love, painting a vivid and passionate picture of the tangled relationships that helped make Edwin's career but broke his heart and his mind.

'Passionate, sensual, profoundly moving . . . one of the best works of historical fiction I ever read' - A.N. WILSON
