Isadora Chapman is the all-seeing eye. She is also a member of the Society for the Advancement of Science. She is I - the ninth member of the society and the only one who must remain anonymous. Such a gift could be exploited. Such a gift should not belong to an unprotected society miss.
She has sworn to never her use her abilities for her own gain but the thoughts of one man keep her awake at night.
Coming Soon!
Here's a little snippet:
Here's a little snippet:
Isadora
Chapman had learned to control and hide her gift at a very young age, which is
why she remained anonymous to the group of professionals who formed the Society
for the Advancement of Science.
Few would
actually call the academics within the group scientists. Most preferred terms
such as charlatan, fool, demon and lunatic.
Isadora
was none of those things, only a woman who remained alone because she knew
things she ought not.
She knew
that Lord Hadley spied for the French during the Napoleonic Wars and worried
still that he might be exposed.
She knew
that Albert Finch had murdered his first wife.
She knew
about ton affairs. About sexual peccadilloes. About betrayal and heartache.
She knew
that her father worried about their finances. And her mother worried about her
father.
She also
knew that Gregory Beckwith, the Earl of Lattham, was the finest man in London—honorable,
a bit rakish and with a heart full of fiery compassion.
But he did
not know she was alive.
