Broek has been sent to Baltimore to stay with her stylish cousin, Zora,

who will show her all the pleasures of city life and help her ind a suit-

able man to marry. With diversions ranging from archery in the park to

dazzling balls and hints of forbidden romance, Victorian Baltimore is more ex-

citing than Amelia imagined. But her gaiety is interrupted by the disturbing,

dreamlike visions she has only at sunset—visions that offer glimpses of the fu-

ture. Soon, friends and strangers alike are calling on Amelia to hear her prophe-

cies, and the young woman who was an outsider is suddenly quite in demand.

However, her attraction to Nathaniel, an artist who is decidedly outside

of Zora’s circle, threatens the new life Amelia is building in Baltimore. This

enigmatic young man is keeping secrets of his own—still, Amelia inds herself

irrepressibly drawn to him. And while she has no trouble seeing the futures of

others, she cannot predict whether Nathaniel will remain in hers.

When one of her darkest visions comes to pass, Amelia’s world is thrown

into chaos. And those around her begin to wonder if she’s not the seer of dark

portents, but the cause of them.

SAUNDRA MITCHELL is a screenwriter and author. Her debut novel,

Shadowed Summer, was a 2010 Edgar Award nominee, a Junior Library Guild

selection, and an ALAN Pick. Saundra lives in Indianapolis with her husband

and two children.
