Originally intended as a sequel to The Black Moth, it evolved into a standalone story, featuring reimagined characters and a departure from melodrama. This transformation highlights Heyer's ability to engage readers with fresh narratives while maintaining her distinctive style, ultimately setting new standards in the genre.
