Amelia has attempted to do what is nearly impossible, at least what should be for an orphan during these times. She may be an orphan, but she also has company in the form of Jonas, her foster brother.

However, all of the safety and comfort that she has worked to build for herself go away when she gets a head injury. That means that her gift is not gone but instead expanded on. She now has a larger than life gift that leads her to channeling an angry spirit in public that gets her locked up in the Blackwell’s Island insane asylum.

Jonas is aware of the situation and is doing everything that he can to find a way to set her free. At the same time, Amelia is doing her best to try and keep her powers under control as best she can while also doing her best to make it through in a horrible place where it is difficult to keep your sanity.

He has gone through a horrible loss and now he has left behind a medical career that could be very promising as well as his society place in Philadelphia. He’s done all of this so that he can devote himself totally to studying mental disease and coming up with ways to treat it.

Amelia Matthew would be just another patient to him, except for the fact that he is present when she channels a spirit. It would appear that she is not disturbed but instead does have a very real gift. Then a mother comes to him looking for her daughter who has gone missing, and she believes is at the asylum.

Can they figure out what is going on and resolve it before it’s too late? Read this book to find out!
