- 520 __ |a "Cornwall, 1730: A young girl known only as Red travels with her father, making a living predicting fortunes using the ancient Cornish method of The Squares of Sevens. Shortly before he dies, her father entrusts Red's care to a gentleman scholar, along with a document containing the secret of The Square of Sevens technique. Raised as a lady amidst the Georgian splendor of Bath, Red and her fortune-telling delight high society. But she cannot ignore the questions that gnaw at her soul: Who was her mother? How did she die? And who are the mysterious enemies her father was always terrified would find him? The pursuit of these mysteries takes her from Cornwall and Bath to London and Devon, from the rough ribaldry of the Bartholomew Fair to the grand houses of two of the most powerful families in England. And while Red's quest brings her the possibility of great reward, it also leads to grave danger. Because someone else is searching for the secret of The Square of Sevens, and possibly for Red herself"--Inside jacket flap.
