Ladies don't shame their families. Ladies don't confront Otherworldly threats. Ladies certainly don't admit some taint of the fae has touched their souls- unless they wish to find themselves confined to an Institution.
Gently bred herbalist Jessa Caldwell is trying to be a lady. She conceals her true nature amongst her plants and her sketches--- where she can almost shut out the whispers she alone hears. But a threat to her beloved aunt forces her from the comfort of home to a town perilously near an Otherworldly Crossing, with its ever-present risk of fae incursions.
To protect her aunt and the townsfolk she comes to care for, she must uncover the individual responsible for a series of increasingly dangerous attacks--- but to find this saboteur will require embracing the part of herself she fears most, an act that could cost her dearly. In a world where Vigilists lock up fae-touched mortals, Jessa must decide if she's willing to risk exposing her true nature to obtain the truth and protect those she loves.
This delightful Regency fantasy follows Jessa, a young woman carrying a secret that could ruin her family. The story opens by revealing Jessa’s compassionate nature when she discovers an injured cat in her greenhouse. She nurses it back to health, and the cat soon becomes her loyal companion—and her partner in solving mysteries.
When Jessa’s aunt receives a letter, the two leave home for a small town plagued by fae mischief and destruction. A friend and her family are being sabotaged, and when a homeless woman is wrongly accused, Jessa is determined to uncover the truth. Before long, she discovers that the fae are behind the trouble.
Now Jessa must find a way to use her fae-touched curse to help the innocent woman and the family in need—without exposing the secret she carries. This cozy fantasy is a charming, entertaining read for all ages. With a cliffhanger ending, it will leave readers eager to pick up the next book in the series.
