Sedition by Katharine Grant

In late Georgian London, five daughters of newly rich tradesmen are drilled at the piano to burnish their prospects and force open the doors of high society. Under the sway of a charismatic but ruthless music tutor, their lessons curdle into a web of desire, coercion, and rivalry. As their fathers scheme and the girls strike back with a pact of their own, the glittering promise of a grand concert spirals into seduction, blackmail, and ruin, exposing the rot beneath fashionable respectability.
