Miss Adelaide Stern is every bit as peculiar and charming as the curious wares and infallible fortunes she provides from her home shop, Orbis Temporis. Her otherwise quiet life is kept lively by Alan, the nuisance ghost haunting its walls-and complicated by a gift that has always blurred the lines of where fate ends and desire begins.
With only her late grandmother's diary and a loving but enigmatic grandfather to guide her, Adelaide begins tugging at the loose threads of a family history that begins to unravel.
As something sinister draws closer to her doorstep, Adelaide finds the past reaching toward the present and unexpected allies finding their way into her heart. Soon, she can no longer be certain whether fate has brought them there-or whether her own peculiar gifts have.
With everything she loves at stake, Adelaide must unveil the truth about her family, her gift, and her own heart before the circle closes around her.
After all, life has a way of bringing us back to what we thought we'd lost.
