Lying Mirrors

London, 1847. Mr. Warren is a true aristocrat of the criminal world—he picks up in the street a homeless girl, a seven-year-old orphan who calls herself Winifred. The little girl turns out to be sharp-witted, and her master manages to teach her all the intricacies of spying. Ten years later, beside her master, Winifred has only fear. She dreams of escaping from him and starting a new life. But how can she do it if all she has in her soul is a handful of coins, and people from her master will find her no matter where she hides?.. During one more assignment, Winifred meets Theodore Darling—a charming young aristocrat. He offers the girl a job, promising in return to deal with Mr. Warren and set her free. The offer is tempting, but Darling is not as simple as he seems. Where does he keep traveling to? Why does he leave every question unanswered every time she asks about his family? It seems the young spy has to be wary of both masters—otherwise she simply won’t survive…
