Publisher's Synopsis
Geneva Tibbetson's association with the Earl of Ashby goes back to her childhood, when he gave her a pendant with a blue stone. He told her that if she used it to look at a new moon and the landscape turned the color of amaranth, then anything she wished would come true. But as the impoverished niece of the Reverend James Batterby, she spends most of her time looking after her eight, much-loved, male cousins. She hasn't seen the Earl, whose house stands uninhabited, for years. Soon, however, the pendant the Earl gave her so long ago lands her in serious trouble, and Geneva and the Earl must struggle with the judgment of local society before they can come to terms with their feelings.
