The dead don't talk...and if they do, Cat Moreland isn’t supposed to listen. Cat's inherited dark magic is getting stronger every day, as is her desire to embrace her true self. As she comes of age, the ghostly whispers she shouldn't hear grow louder along with her parent's fears. That's when fate brings Sylvia into her life, an understanding witch that knows Cat's true power—as a necromancer. Sylvia offers her a position at her magic shop in New York where, under the tutelage of a master necromancer, Cat can safely develop her skills. While in New York, Cat meets the handsome Henry Tilney, who becomes her mentor and friend. She harbors a secret love for him and is delighted when he invites her to his family’s mysterious mansion, Northanger Abbey. The abbey exists in the heart of New York but remains hidden from the eyes of mortals. At the Abbey, Cat encounters Henry’s sister and their disapproving father, but her growing power accidentally exposes the Tilneys’ carefully guarded secrets, threatening Cat’s blossoming relationship with Henry and ultimately her future happiness.
