Sinopse

From the suburbs of Ottawa to the caves of Abraxis, Melissa and Claire Carlson have seen just about everything this galaxy has to offer. But nothing could have prepared them for life on the planet Antaur with its rigid caste system.
 
While Melissa is training a new batch of Justice Keeper recruits, Claire’s decision to attend an academy for telepaths brings her face to face with her classmates’ prejudice. Life is hard enough with all of that on their plates, but it only gets worse when a telepath kills a man in cold blood.
 
Ordinary citizens are up in arms; the mind readers have gone too far. But Melissa’s enthusiasm for this new civil rights movement is challenged when telepaths start turning up dead... and the culprit seems to be a Field Binder.
 
After the Truth Seers begin arresting people without cause, Melissa makes some powerful enemies. And as for Claire, she can always find a way to get in over her head. Can the Carlsons crack the case before it tears their new home apart? Find out in this gripping, new adventure!

    Louisa May Alcott was born on 29th November 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania. 
     
    She is most definitely a writer of her own experiences.  Her father was a transcendentalist, philosopher and educational experimenter who founded, Fruitlands, a utopian community. Although poor, her liberal and progressive parents provided Louisa with much of her education, which was enhanced by many family friends that included Thoreau, Hawthorne and Emerson, a neighbour whose library she was often found reading in.    
     
    She started writing stories as a way of providing the family with some financial stability. Times were difficult and the effects of poverty were always close at hand.  During the Civil War she went to Washington to be a nurse and became ill with typhoid fever although she continued to write and build her success.  However, the treatment for typhus gave her mercury poisoning which caused further health issues for the rest of her life and eventually contributed to her death.   
     
    Alcott visited her father on his deathbed in Boston. Two days later on 6th March 1888 she also died resulting in a joint funeral.   
     
    Well-loved for her classic ‘Little Women’ she was a superb writer in difficult times for any woman, a strong advocate of women’s issues, the anti-slavery movement, temperance and social reform.    
     
    Her work often reflects on the rich experiences in her life and these poignant short stories are a fine testament to this. Additionally under pseudonyms she wrote dozens of gothic thrillers and sensation stories.  She is also famed for her children’s stories.

    In the lush, rolling hills of the Cotswolds, governess Mary Wilcox finds her latest charge: the Carlton family. With wealth and elegance that could rival royalty, the Carltons are the epitome of modern aristocracy. 
    
    But beneath their polished exterior lies a tangle of silent grudges and family secrets.
    
    And one of them may lead to murder.
    
    Someone in this household harbors a sinister story, cloaked in aristocratic civility—a story that could turn her into the confidant of a troubled soul--or the next unsuspecting victim.
    
    As Mary digs deeper, she encounters inexplicable occurrences that mirror her own sister's disappearance, causing her to question if she's uncovering truths--or falling prey to her own haunted psyche.
    
    In a house full of masters and secrets, who can she truly trust?
