A cosy country Christmastide.

An ill-timed quest to expose injustice.
A determined pursuit that sets everything asunder.

When Eleanor and Annalise arrive at Stapleford Hall and begin to acclimatise to the slow rhythms of a secluded country life, they expect the remaining months of Eleanor's confinement to continue as uneventfully as they began.

But then a Christmas outing sets them on an unexpected mission to seek justice for the women of Cambridgeshire who are subject to the tyranny of the University Proctors and the questionable practice of confining them to The Spinning House without reasonable cause or a fair trial.

Their quest to expose this unlawful custom leads them on a path of spontaneous adventure, new acquaintances, and a chance to test their thespian skills and new disguises.

It would be risky business in any event, but with Eleanor lying low and Giles expanding his countrywide search for her, the timing might have been better.

As the Midwinter winds set over the frost-bitten Fens, unforeseen danger begins to crystallise in the powdery snow trails of their perilous footprints.
