The wooded hillsides of Oxfordshire conceal the remains of the aptly named Ashdown House - a squandered pile of cinders and regret. Once home to the girl of a ruler, Ashdown and its own secrets will unite three women across four decades in a tangle of relationship, deceit, and destiny.... In the wintertime of 1662, Elizabeth Stuart, the Winter Queen, is on her deathbed. She entrusts a historical pearl, rumored to have magic vitality, to her faithful cavalier, William Craven, for safekeeping. In his grief, William purchases the construction of Ashdown Real estate in her recollection and places the pearl at its center. A hundred and fifty years later, notorious courtesan Lavinia Flyte hears the maids at Ashdown House whisper of a concealed treasure and bears witness as her protector, Lord Evershot - desperate to think it is - uses up the building to the ground. Now, a battered reflection and the diary of the Regency courtesan will be the only signs Holly Ansell must finding her brother, who has truly gone missing researching the enigma of Elizabeth Stuart and her alleged affair with Lord Craven. As she retraces his footsteps, Holly's mission will soon uncover the reality about Lavinia and compel her to confront the beautiful revelation about the legacy of the Winter Queen.
