Lady Helen is the sister of an Earl in the early nineteenth century. Enjoying her first season and finding a husband should be her only worries... until she meets an intriguing outcast nobleman and learns about a secret society who has been waiting for her to turn eighteen and come into some extraordinary powers. Her powers will be used to fight a demon force that is getting stronger but she must decide if it is worth the danger. Lady Helen is witty, brave and caring. She does not just accept what she has become but questions every step of the way. She is extremely loyal and her friendship with her maid Darby adds a fantastic element to this book. The strictures of her society are realistically portrayed. Her relationship with her mentor, Lord Carlston is fraught with tension both romantic and dangerous. I really enjoyed this book and while I did think it dragged a little too long in parts, it is extremely well written and sets up what I hope to be an exciting and different new series. I received this from Penguin's First to Read program for an honest review.
