'Grisly, addictive fun . . .
I devoured it in 24 hours' â Emilia Hart, author of WeywardIn deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . .
London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared. Maude, her older sister, knows only that Constance abandoned the apothecary they call home, and, disguised as a boy, boarded a ship bound for the Arctic.
She never returned. â A tragic accidentâ , the Admiralty called it. But Maude Horton knows something isnâ t right.
When she finds Constanceâ s journal, it becomes clear that the truth is being buried by sinister forces. To find answers â and deliver justice for her sister â Maude must step into Londonâ s dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the cityâ s horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussaudâ s.
It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . .
