Stolen at knife-point, traded in shadowy back alleys, chased by a shadowy cabal who would see them destroyed. Now they're in the hands of Millicent Browning. In her mid-40s, a gifted scientist, she searches obsessively for a cure for her husband's degenerative illness. She is devoted to him, to the exclusion of her children, William and Clara, with whom she is cold and harsh. William, our hero, is in his mid-20s. Witty, unconventional for his class, he strains at the bounds of his privileged position, working as a doctor in the local asylum.
