Sanctuary for Seers: A Stranje House Novel

Description

What if you'd been born two centuries ago in a dangerously superstitious time... with the ability to see spiritual and emotional realms?

Sera is banished to Stranje House, a reform school for unusual girls. Unbeknownst to their parents, these young ladies, who each possess remarkable talents, are being trained to enter the perilous world of espionage, diplomacy, and war. Sera relishes the sisterhood she finds among the other outcasts, but she dares not reveal her more peculiar gifts.

Conquering Europe wasn't enough. Now Napoleon wants Britain. He and his band of assassins and spies, the Iron Crown Brotherhood, led by a ruthless man known only as Ghost, have abducted the Prince Regent. Britain is teetering on ruin, and the young ladies of Stranje House must risk their lives to join the desperate hunt to find the Prince before it's too late. Sera's secret gifts are desperately needed to help avert disaster. But will she dare risk it?

Amid the chaos, Sera discovers the one person who truly understands her is the one man they all fear the most. The man set on destroying England. Can she save her homeland and her heart from Ghost?
