Not even her fiancé, Redvers, can be too close as she uncovers the truth about Robert Nightingale, enigmatic leader of the Order of the Golden Dawn--a group made up of supernatural ceremonies, influential people, and an undefinable darkness. When a woman tries to escape to the mainland only to be found murdered in the moors, the shocking scene reveals it's easier to join the Golden Dawn than it is to leave. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJane, set on solving the crime and catching the next ferry with Redvers, realizes she may be among the few still grasping reality.
