After five years at Madame Fairchild's orphanage, nineteen-year-old Agnes has learned to survive through fierce determination and sharp wit. When a wealthy stranger appears claiming to be her uncle, she's suddenly whisked away to his grand estate where her mysterious aunt has supposedly been searching for her all this time.
But as Agnes enters this new world of privilege and power, she discovers that her newfound family has ulterior motives. Her uncle intends to use her as a pawn in aristocratic society, arranging a marriage that will benefit the Blackwood name while caring nothing for her happiness.
With each passing day, Agnes uncovers fragments of her true heritage-secrets deliberately kept from her that could change everything. As the walls close in around her, she must decide whether to submit to the fate others have planned or forge her own path to freedom.
The lost heiress has been found. But at what cost?
Perfect for fans of gothic mysteries, found family, and fierce heroines who refuse to be silenced.
