Step into a world of snow and secrets with this mysterious gothic Christmas tale. When orphaned Seren Rees is given a strange and frightened man's parcel on her way to a gloomy Victorian country mansion, her life takes a thrilling turn. As she tries to unravel the mystery of the package and the shadowy "Family who must not be spoken of," she finds help from a very grumpy clockwork crow. Can the crow help Seren find the missing Tom before the parcel's original owner finds her? This gripping tale of families and belonging, set in snowy Wales, is perfect for a cosy winter's read from a master storyteller.
