Xanthe stands before three singing treasures: a writing slope, a mourning brooch, and a gem-set hat pin. Each calls to her, but only one will lead her to Liam, who was stolen away during their return from Regency England. Mistress Flyte has taken him to another time, and Xanthe knows she must follow quickly or lose him forever. But when she discovers that Lydia Flyte tracks the Visionary Society, a group of corrupt Spinners who sell their time-traveling abilities to wealthy clients, Xanthe faces an impossible choice. The Society threatens the natural order of time itself, altering history for profit. Their actions could destroy the future. Xanthe realizes she must put her duty as a Spinner before her heart and confront this dangerous group. The mission will demand everything from her allies, both old and new. Some will not survive the battle ahead.
