In this suspenseful Arcane Society novel, New York Times bestselling
author Amanda Quick delves into the underworld of passion, greed and
powers that lie beyond this realm.
Victorian botanist Lucinda Bromley has a rare talent: the ability to
detect almost any type of poison. She also tends many rare plants,
including a species of fern that was stolen from her conservatory just
last month--and which turns up in a poison that was used in a nobleman's
murder.
To keep her name out of the investigation and to find the killer,
Lucinda hires a fellow Arcane Society member. The founder of a psychical
investigation agency, Caleb Jones is very good at protecting the
Society's secrets--and frighteningly good at getting the truth.
As a nearly overwhelming desire blooms between Caleb and Lucinda, they
are drawn into the dark heart of a deadly conspiracy--and into a legacy
of madness that could plunge Caleb into the depths of his own tortured
soul...
