About the book

It's 1895, and after the death of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma's reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she's being followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence's most powerful girls - and their foray into the spiritual world - lead to?

    I read this book when I was about 13 years old so my memory is kinda blurry... what I remember from this book is that I couldn't lay it down for one second and that I was pretty amazed by it. But this is just my 13 year old self talking so maybe my view would be changed if I read it again. Still a great read though! :)
