Annis Allington has always preferred riding over dancing, and reading over the extravagant social engagements expected of the daughter of one of New York's wealthiest new tycoons. But when her widowed father remarries, her new stepmother, Frances, sets about securing Annis' and the family's position amongst the city's elite Four Hundred families by any means necessary -- including a scheme to marry Annis off to an English lord, using the same strange and dark power with which Frances ensnared Annis's father.

The two Allington women set off for England, where Frances contrives to kindle an unnatural mutual regard between her stepdaughter and a newly-orphaned young marquess. But then, a distant cousin of Annis' intervenes. She reveals that she and Annis are descended of a long line of witches themselves -- one that broke with Frances' ancestors over the misuse of their powers. Together, they must resist Frances' agenda, lest they -- and the dashing young lord Annis falls for against her best judgment -- succumb to the darkness Frances would inflict upon them all.
