A Great And Terrible Beauty

It's 1895, and after the violent death of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in Bombay to toney Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future which have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma's reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she's been followed by Kartik, a mysterious young Indian man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence's most powerful girls--and their foray into a fantastical spiritual world known as The Realms--lead to?
