    Summary

    England, 1847

    Lucy Carlyle has led a life of hardship, first at the hands of relatives and most recently at Lowood School. When she accepts a governess position at Thornfield Hall, she doesn't expect to find a family, let alone a mysterious connection with her kind and handsome employer, Mr Lockwood.

    Anthony Lockwood has a problem. At twenty-five, his Sight is swiftly failing him; with each passing day, the pressure grows to marry and produce an heir. There's at least one opportunistic madam who'd kill for the chance, and Penelope Fittes will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

    When the fiery Miss Carlyle walks into his life, Lockwood believes he's finally found the woman he wants to build a life with. But there are powerful people hiding in the shadows, using the occult to pull the strings. And the ghostly threat might be closer to Thornfield than Lucy realizes. One that her new husband has chosen to keep secret from her...

    Summary

    It is a widely known fact that Anthony Lockwood was a damn good seer. A truth that is awfully ironic since Anthony Lockwood was also incredibly blind.
