Liverpool, 1919.

The Great War is over, but Polly Caveney’s nightmare is only just beginning. And when a shocking discovery forces her to flee into the frozen night, danger shadows her every step.

Seeking shelter in a travelling winter fair, Polly finds refuge inside one of the wagons - only to be faced with mortal danger. All seems lost until Fergus Farrell, the fair owner’s son, comes to her rescue, his steady kindness becoming her only anchor as the fair rolls south.

But with Fergus belonging to the road and Polly to the settled world, their lives couldn't be more different. And the gulf separating them only grows as Polly’s past continues to threaten their future.
