Publisher's Synopsis
It is 1856 and Spiritualism is at the height of its popularity. Molly Pinner has inherited her late aunt Florrie's mantle as Preston's most successful medium, but it soon becomes clear that Florrie was something far more cunning than a magnet for the spirits of the dead. When Molly finds herself married to a man she cannot love and pregnant with a child she does not want, she finds out that Aunt Florrie lied about more than just her ability to commune with the dead: a truth hidden for years is about to emerge and it will threaten not only Molly's livelihood, but her very life.
