A gothic tale about Victor Hugo's long-buried secrets and the energy of any love that never dies... In 1843, novelist Victor Hugo's much loved 19-year-old little princess drowned. A decade later, still grieving, Hugo initiated hundreds of séances from his home on the Isle of Jersey in order to reestablish contact with her. Along the way, he claimed to possess communed with Plato, Galileo, Shakespeare, Dante, Jesus - and even the devil himself. Hugo's transcriptions of these interactions have all been posted. Or so it has been believed... Dealing with a great damage, mythologist Jac L'Etoile believes that tossing herself into work will distract her from her grief. In the expectations of uncovering a top secret about the island's inexplicable Celtic roots, she will come on Jersey which is greeted by ghostly Neolithic monuments, middle ages castles, and concealed caves. However the man who has asked her there, a stressed soul known as Theo Gaspard, hopes she'll help him discover something quite different - transcripts of Hugo's lost interactions with someone he called the Shadow of the Sepulcher. Central to his traditions, these are the paperwork his grandfather passed on trying to find. Neither Jac nor Theo predict that the mystery encircling Victor Hugo will threaten their sanity and put their very lives on the line. Seduction is a historically evocative and atmospheric tale of suspense with a spellbinding ghost account at its heart, written by one of America's most gifted and imaginative novelists. Awakening a mystery that spans ages, this multilayered gothic tale brings a period, a location, and a cast of desperate individuals brilliantly to life.
