Fiction Family Life
In this hauntingly original debut novel about a young woman
whose peculiar abilities help her infiltrate a mysterious
secret society, Adam McOmber uses fantastical twists and
dark turns to create a fast-paced, unforgettable story.
Young Jane Silverlake lives with her father in a crumbling
family estate on the edge of Hampstead Heath. Jane has a
secret—an unexplainable gift that allows her to see the
souls of man-made objects—and this talent isolates her from
the outside world. Her greatest joy is wandering the wild
heath with her neighbors, Madeline and Nathan. But as the
friends come of age, their idyll is shattered by the
feelings both girls develop for Nathan, and by Nathan’s
interest in a cult led by Ariston Day, a charismatic mystic
popular with London’s elite. Day encourages his followers to
explore dream manipulation with the goal of discovering a
strange hidden world, a place he calls the Empyrean. A year later, Nathan has vanished, and the famed Inspector
Vidocq arrives in London to untangle the events that led up
to Nathan’s disappearance. As a sinister truth emerges, Jane
realizes she must discover the origins of her talent, and
use it to find Nathan herself, before it’s too late.
