What if you could remember a past life? Or worse, what if you couldn't? Born in 1875 and raised in a Scottish orphanage, Abigail is about to turn fifteen—an age where she will be cast out of the only home she has ever known—no matter how horrid. The day before they force her to leave behind the only life she has known to enter an uncertain future, a mysterious wooden box arrives requesting she travel to London to meet with a lawyer by the name of Henry Malcolm. Abigail is thrown into a world she is fearful of—while events from the past of which she has no control or influence could change the course of her life in ways she never expected. A reluctant journey taking her across the ocean to Melbourne, Australia, sees friendships formed that will last a lifetime—but leaves Abigail even more confused by the auras she has seen since she could first remember. Surprised by the golden glow surrounding many of the new souls she meets along the way, she wonders if they know something she doesn't. Only to find the further she travels from home, the more common they become, Abigail dives deeper into the mystery of these auras, soon discovering they could hold the answer to who she truly is—and what darkness hides in the past of which she has no control or influence.
