Description

In Georgian England, a girl known only as Red—trained in the ancient art of fortune-telling by her Cornish fortune-teller father—finds her carefully ordered life shattered when he dies. Raised into the glittering world of Bath by a scholarly gentleman, she becomes a celebrated curiosity among high society, yet her gift cannot quiet the questions that haunt her: who her mother was, how she died, and what enemies her father feared. As Red’s search carries her through London’s intrigue and Devon’s darker corners, she must navigate powerful families, public spectacle, and private grief while uncovering the truth behind a web of secrets. With its sweeping, Dickensian Gothic atmosphere and audacious twists, this rich historical mystery explores fate versus choice, the cost of reinvention, and the dangerous power of stories told in the dark.
