When archivist Silas Vance arrives at Ashwood Hall to catalog the late Lord Blackthorn's private library, he uncovers an unrecorded ledger concealed behind timber wall paneling. Its damp pages record clandestine financial settlements and an altered testament that cuts out the legitimate heir.
As bitter blizzards seal the Yorkshire valley, Silas finds himself caught between suspicious relatives and guarded staff. Every locked room within the freezing manor reveals another deliberate attempt to erase the family line before spring.
