She is determined to secure the Allingtons' position amongst the city's elite Four Hundred families by any means necessary -- including a scheme to make a glorious aristocratic match for her headstrong and reluctant step-daughter Annis using the same strange power with which she ensnared Annis's father.To save Annis from this dark magic Harriet reveals to her Frances' misuse of their shared birthright and kindles in Annis her own nascent powers.
