Description
Red's story is one of intrigue, heartbreak, and audacious twists, set against the backdrop of Georgian high society. A girl known only as Red, the daughter of a Cornish fortune-teller, travels with her father making a living predicting fortunes using the ancient method: the Square of Sevens. When her father suddenly dies, Red becomes the ward of a gentleman scholar, and her fortune-telling becomes a delight to high society. As Red navigates her new life, she is drawn into a world of mystery and danger. She must confront the questions that have haunted her since childhood: who was her mother, how did she die, and who are the enemies her father was always terrified would find him? Her quest takes her from Cornwall and Bath to London and Devon, with its twists and turns leading her into grave danger. A sweeping and inventive tale, Red's story is a thrilling ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
