Summer, 1812. Just weeks after her catastrophic coming-out ball, Lady Helen Wrexhall has been disowned by her uncle-- and is now a full member of the demon-hunting Dark Days Club. Her mentor, Lord Carlston, has arranged for Helen to spend the summer season in Brighton so that he can train her new Reclaimer powers. However, the long-term effects of Carlston's Reclaimer work have taken hold, and his sanity is beginning to slip. As Carlston's nemesis attempts to bring Helen over to his side, the Duke of Selburn is determined to marry her. -- adapted from jacket.
