Description
'Grisly, addictive fun . . . I devoured it in 24 hours' � Emilia Hart, author of Weyward
In deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . .
London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared and her sister Maude is determined to find out what�s happened.
She discovers that Constance has disguised herself as a boy and boarded a ship bound for the Arctic, but when the ship returns without her the truth about her fate is buried by sinister forces.
To find answers � and deliver justice for her sister � Maude must step into London�s dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the city�s horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussaud�s.
It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . . .
