Post-Civil War America - a United States now truly united - has finally found its unity, yet families have been torn apart. There is not a soul who has not lost someone.
But in a morbid twist of fate, for the Fox Sisters, this era of grief holds the promise of a rise in fortune. Their father, an impoverished country landowner, left his children nothing but a crumbling manor and a collection of peculiar, scholarly notes. After years of barely scraping by, Aurora stumbles upon a handwritten notebook whose contents change their lives forever. Almost overnight, the destitute, forgotten sisters become the most sought-after mediums in the county. Crowds flock to them, hoping to reach their lost loved ones.
But there is a catch.
They are exceptionally gifted at summoning - it is the sending back where things get complicated. The number of disturbed souls keeps growing, and the spirits haunting the Fox estate are growing increasingly restless.
Will the Fox girls manage to contend with hundreds of furious ghosts?
Will they discover how to return the summoned souls to the other side?
All Hallows' Eve is drawing near - a dangerous time to be at war with the dead.
And their brother has chosen precisely this moment to come home, with a young lady in tow...
