She's only glancingly mentioned in Spymaster's Lady,Īnd not by name, but she's at the forefront of Adrian's mind throughout The influence of Justine defines the Adrian-Annique friendship. That's one of the virtues he bringsįrom that criminal gang background of his youth. Once it's clear Grey is attracted to her, Adrian doesn't let himselfĮven think of her in a sexual way. He teases, but makes no real sexual overtures. Adrian quite deliberately marks out a platonic relationship between Harder, more powerful Grey instead of the wild, brave, brilliant boy her ownīut why not both? Why not les sexy overtones between Adrian and Annique? (I maintain.) Annique is sexually attracted to the older, Respects him for the spy he is and the greater spy he will become. Protective toward Adrian and amused by him. Had an admirable gift of true friendship with women.Īt the beginning of Spymaster's Lady, Annique feels

The baddies could steal Congreve rockets or fireworks and set up on the (and everybody has to get out of the house and she escapes in the confusion.) Or maybe somebody drives up a load of cobras and dumps them in the back gardenĬobra, which Adrian could have got hold of (That would loosen the window bars but good.)
