The dramatic new saga from the author of The Royal Lacemaker.
East Devonshire 1848. Rowan Clode was eight years old when her mother died. Now she treasures the only things she has left of her - an antique mirror and a red ribbon, worn around her wrist.
Rowan, her father and her younger brother remain a close knit family. But when scheming Fanny Foreshaw wins her father's heart she forces Rowan from her home and turns those she loves against her.
By a stroke of luck, Rowan finds a position as a milliner's apprentice and even begins to fall in love but the demons from her past are set to resurface . . .
