No one yet knows what she has done…
On a winter night in 1850, the infant Lily Mortimer was left at the gates of a park, where a police constable found her. From London’s Foundling Hospital, she was sent to be raised by a foster family.
Lily enjoyed life on the farm “Rookery” (Graševnik), but by the laws of the place, at six she had to return to the Hospital—an awful and unfair place.
Growing up, Lily enters the harsh world of Victorian London and gets a job at the famous “Hatpin Wig Shop” of Belle Charowill. But all this time, she hides a terrible secret.
After meeting the person who helped keep Lily alive, she begins to feel an irresistible attraction toward him.
But what does this person hold in his hands— the key to her heart, or a sure path to destruction?
