When an eight‑year‑old Aurelia Vennaway finds a naked baby girl in the snow on her family’s grounds, she brings the foundling home and names her Amy Snow. Though Amy grows up as a second‑class guest in a noble household, she and Aurelia share a bond that feels like sisterhood.
The Vennaway parents are horrified at their daughter's decision, but Aurelia convinces them to keep the girl. When Aurelia dies at twenty‑three, she bequeaths ten pounds to Amy and leaves her a mysterious packet. The package contains a letter, a rich inheritance, and clues that send Amy on a treasure hunt across England, a quest only she can complete.
Amy must unravel the secrets Aurelia kept, escape the Vennaway family’s wrath, find true love, and protect the treasured family secret for the rest of her life. The story explores themes of friendship, secrecy, and the hidden histories of the English upper class.
