Which is more dangerous - a future you can't see - or one that you can?
London, 1913
Twelve-year-old Maud Mulligan knows there's no future for her in London, in the
rat-infested slum where she grew up. But in the tunnel under the river are
fortune tellers, Seers, who will tell your fortune for a few pennies. And then
there is Mr Mandalay, Seer to the king and anyone else rich enough to afford
him.
When Mr Mandalay sees Maud in a foretelling for a wealthy factory heiress, she
believes Maud can save her family from financial ruin. But how? And why?
In a world shaken by suffragettes, scientists, and the threat of war, what could
a girl like Maud do to change anyone's future - or even her own?
