In the dead of night, shots ring out over the grounds of a sprawling English estate. The butler, Eustace, recognizes the gunman - his employer, Mr. Crowe. Mr. Crowe has been content to live quietly, until now. This single night of passion and violence will have consequences,
threatening those he now cares for. He and the faithful Eustace will be tested as never before. So too will his young ward Clara, whose extraordinary gifts remain hidden, even from herself. If she is to save them all, she must learn to use them quickly and unlock the secret of who she is. It is a secret beyond imagining. A secret that will change everything.
