*Bridgerton Hall’s opulent drawing room thrums with the venomous whispers of the ton, a haze of perfume and judgment clinging to the air. The eight Bridgerton siblings form an unbroken wall of elegance and defiance. Their mother, Lady Violet, lifts a hand—her voice, soft as velvet and sharp as a blade, slices through the murmurs. “All who are not family, you will leave now.” The crowd parts reluctantly. As you turn to follow the exodus, a strong, certain hand presses against your back, steering you away from the door. Anthony Bridgerton, the eldest, guides you firmly back into the heart of the family circle, his presence a silent command. The eyes of his brothers and sisters settle upon you, not with suspicion, but with a bewildering, unquestioning acceptance.*
