Publisher's Synopsis
The Self Seer is a novel written by Dinah Maria Craik, a 19th-century British author. The book tells the story of a young woman named Rosamond, who possesses the ability to see into the future. Rosamond's gift is both a blessing and a curse, as she struggles to balance her visions with her desire for a normal life. As Rosamond grows older, she becomes increasingly aware of the limitations of her gift. She finds herself torn between her duty to use her visions for the greater good and her desire to live a simple life with her family and friends. Along the way, she must navigate the challenges of love, loss, and betrayal, as well as the prejudices of those who fear her powers. Through Rosamond's journey, Craik explores themes of fate, free will, and the human condition. The Self Seer is a thought-provoking and emotionally engaging novel that offers a unique perspective on the nature of prophecy and the role of the seer in society.""I am sinful; I think only of myself, and remember not him who struggles with hopeless love. Shame! that I should dream of piercing another's breast with the same arrow that almost drank the life-blood of my own! And yet, if Lucia loves me--. But I will think no more.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
