Lydia Fitzroy → Turning Page [ poster reveal ]

From only six years of age, Lydia Fitzroy had known that she would marry Anthony Bridgerton. Not out of any girlhood fantasy, nor any romantic desire whatsoever, it was simply practical, and Lydia always prided herself on her practicality. Their families were notoriously inseparable, the friendship between Theodore Fitzroy and Edmund Bridgerton only surpassed by that of their wives, and it had only made sense that they would one day unite the two.

Despite being six years his junior, Lydia and Anthony had been in agreement about their eventual marriage since the summer before Anthony left for university. It would be no great romance, but it would be theirs. A companionship, one that promised happiness if not true love, and it could wait. It would wait; until Lydia had made her debut, until Anthony had established himself as Viscount, until they were ready to have and raise children.

But time had a way of changing even the most carefully laid plans, and two years after she was supposed to make her debut — ten years since she had last seen Anthony Bridgerton — Lydia Fitzroy has finally returned to London, and will have to face her childhood plans as a proper adult; will have to face Anthony Bridgerton as a woman grown for the very first time, and no amount of practicality could ever truly prepare her.
