In deepest winter, beware the coldest hearts . . .
London, 1850. Constance Horton has disappeared and her sister Maude is determined to find out whats 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 Londons dark underbelly, and into the path of dangerous, powerful men. The kind of men who seek their fortune in the citys horrors, from the hangings at Newgate to the ghoulish waxworks of Madame Tussauds.
It is a perilous task. But Maude has dangerous skills of her own . . .
