Gemma Doyle is looking forward to a holiday from Spence
Academy—spending time with her friends in the city,
attending balls in fancy gowns with plunging necklines, and
dallying with the handsome Lord Denby. Yet amid these
distractions, her visions intensify—visions of three girls
dressed in white, to whom something horrific has happened
that only the realms can explain.
The lure is strong,
and soon Gemma, Felicity, and Ann are turning flowers into
butterflies in the enchanted world that Gemma takes them to.
To the girls' great joy, their beloved Pippa is there as
well, eager to complete their circle of
friendship.
But all is not well in the realms—or out.
Kartik is back, desperately insisting to Gemma that she must
bind the magic, lest colossal disaster befall her. Gemma is
willing to comply, for this would bring her face-to-face
with her late mother's greatest friend, now Gemma's
foe—Circe. Until Circe is destroyed, Gemma cannot live out
her destiny. But finding Circe proves a most perilous task.
. . .
This sumptuous companion to A Great and
Terrible Beauty teems with Victorian thrills and chills
that play out against the rich backdrop of 1895 London, a
place of shadows and light . . . where inside great beauty
can lie a rebel angel.
