Publisher Description
The second book in the critically acclaimed New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling Gemma Doyle trilogy, an exhilarating and haunting saga from the author of The Diviners series and Going Bovine. Ah, Christmas! Gemma Doyle is looking forward to a holiday from Spence Academy, spending time with her friends in the city, attending ritzy balls, and on a somber note, tending to her ailing father. As she prepares to ring in the New Year, 1896, a handsome young man, Lord Denby, has set his sights on Gemma, or so it seems. Yet amidst the distractions of London, Gemma’s visions intensify–visions of three girls dressed in white, to whom something horrific has happened, something only the realms can explain. . . . The lure is strong, and before long, Gemma, Felicity, and Ann are turning flowers into butterflies in the enchanted world of the realms that Gemma alone can bring them to. To the girls’ great joy, their beloved Pippa is there as well, eager to complete their circle of friendship. But all is not well in the realms–or out. The mysterious Kartik has reappeared, telling Gemma she must find the Temple and bind the magic, else great disaster will befall her. Gemma’s willing to do his intrusive bidding, despite the dangers it brings, for it means she will meet up with her mother’ s greatest friend–and now her foe, Circe. Until Circe is destroyed, Gemma cannot live out her destiny. But finding Circe proves a most perilous task. “Extraordinary.”—VOYA in a Perfect 10 Review “Remarkable.” —School Library Journal A New York Times Bestseller A USA Today Bestseller A Publishers Weekly Bestseller A Book Sense Bestseller A Book Sense Top Ten Selection BBYA (ALA/YALSA Best Book for Young Adults) Colorado Blue Spruce Young Adult Book Award Iowa High School Book Award Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award Golden Spur Children’s Literature Book Award (TX)

" Book two of a three-book series, and I liked this one better than the first. Some mythology, strong female characters, and a plot that moves pretty quickly. A good young adult book. "

" I loved this book just as much as the first one! I like the author's style and Gemma Doyle is a great heroine that I look up to. Ann, however, is, well, a ninny. "

— Katrina, 11/29/2011 -
" I liked this one less than the first one which is bad news really in a series--it was still entertaining but didn't hold my interest as well and I wasn't as eager to see what was going to happen. "

" much better than the first one. "
— Michelle, 4/30/2011 -
" So, I have to say that the 2nd one was better than the first one for me. Probably because it was more about England and less about witchcraft and petty girl fights. I like Gemma more now, but she still is so clueless. Guess I'll finish the series.... "
