Sonnet has all but given up on her now. Unlike others of the Lost, Rose has the ability to manipulate her powers and can travel through time at will, deciding which eras she wants to travel to. Unfortunately, the traveling has taken a toll on her mind and body. For a perfectly sane girl, power of this nature could be a gift. For Rose however, it’s not only a danger to her, but also to anyone who’s had the misfortune of meeting her.

Lizzie is an orphaned nurse resigned to a life of changing bedpans and fluffing pillows at Bedlam, the world’s most notorious insane asylum. Finding an old diary proves a welcome distraction from a medical world that doesn’t take nurses all that seriously. As Lizzie falls into the world of the diary’s author, Rose Gray, she finds herself swept into an ever deepening mystery.

Although the diary in Bedlam Hospital may be old, Rose is not, and it appears as though she never really left. Will Lizzie’s curiosity lead to her becoming yet another of Rose’s victims?
