SummaryDear Reader:
When Ryder Sherbrooke finds a child nearly beaten to death
in an alley in Eastbourne, he takes her home to Brandon
House. She doesn't speak for six months. Her first words,
oddly enough, are a haunting song:
I dream of beauty and sightless night
I dream of strength and fevered might
I dream I'm not alone again
But I know of his death and her grievous sin.
Ah, and just what does this strange song mean that was
seemingly imprinted on the child's brain?
She names herself Rosalind de la Fontaine since she cannot
remember who she is. In her first season in London in 1835,
under the aegis of the Sherbookes, she meets Nicholas Vail,
the 7th Earl of Mountjoy, newly arrived from Macau. It is
instant fascination on both their parts, but for different
reasons.
With Grayson Sherbrooke, they are led to an ancient copy of
a mysterious book written by a sixteenth-century wizard. The
book is written in a baffling code that neither Grayson nor
Nicholas can read. But Rosalind can, easily. Strange things
start happening. Both Nicholas and Rosalind know it has to
do with the old book and, perhaps, even her past,
particularly the song she first sang as a child. The urgency
builds as they realize Rosalind is the key to a
centuries-old mystery.
