Summary
Lily is twelve years old. She has just lost her parents. She has been sent to live with her uncle, Lord Craven, in a remote estate in the English countryside. The house is old, cold, and dark. Her uncle is a distant, grieving man who cannot bear to look at her. The servants are kind but distant. Lily is alone. She does not cry. She has been told not to cry. She walks through the house, exploring the rooms. She finds a hidden door in the garden wall. It is locked. She does not know what is behind it. She thinks about her grandmother, who gave her a hidden blade and told her that the Creed meant protecting the people you love. Lily has never used the blade. She has never needed to. But she keeps it in her pocket, a reminder that she is not as alone as she feels.
