A dark and fascinating story! This is absolute gripping page turner.
Set in Georgian times, Red, the daughter of a fortune teller, travels with her father paying their way by telling peoples’ fortunes using the ancient method of Square of Sevens.
Fortune smiles on Red when she enters a grand house in Bath to be raised as a lady. She slowly starts questioning her real identity - who was her mother, who were the enemies her father constantly feared. The story takes us from Bath to London and into the bosom of powerful rival families in London high society.
Red is a wonderful character; strong, ruthless and manipulative and with an iron determination to find out who she really is. The plot twists will keep you on your seat wanting to find out more!
Step into a spellbinding atmospheric Georgian life, full of deceit, lies and mysteries. If you like a good historical page-turner, this is perfect for you.
