The Black Moth is Georgette Heyer's early Georgian romance of exile, honour, and retribution.
Set in the early eighteenth century, the novel follows Jack Carstares, a disgraced nobleman living as a highwayman after taking the blame for his brother's wrongdoing. Cast out from society yet governed by his own code of conduct, Carstares inhabits the margins of a world defined by rank and reputation. His encounter with the spirited Diana Beauleigh draws him back toward the life and identity he relinquished.
Against a backdrop of duels, masked identities, and aristocratic rivalry, Heyer crafts a tale steeped in period atmosphere. Though written in her youth, the novel anticipates the stylistic precision and historical engagement that would later define her career. Honour, sacrifice, and personal integrity shape the narrative, which unfolds within the conventions of Georgian romance while maintaining emotional restraint.
