In Regency England, cousins Gretchen, Emma, and Penelope are all dealing with what it means to be a Lovegrove—part of a long line of witches who wield great magic, but who must also face great danger. As a Whisperer, Gretchen constantly hears the murmurs of other witches’ spells. And while this does help her to know when one of her own spells is going wrong, the assault on her magical senses makes it difficult to use her own gifts—especially when she’s additionally distracted by the cool-as-ice and devastatingly handsome Tobias Lawless. But while Gretchen tries to hide the truth and resolve her feelings for Tobias, London falls under an evil shadow. Only Gretchen and her cousins can stop a terrible sacrifice from unleashing an unspeakable darkness . . .
