This stunning tale of terror and suspense is a different kind of thriller - a bizarre journey into the inner regions of the human mind, and past the boundaries of time itself...

Twenty-six-year-old Elizabeth Austin has been cured of a neurological disorder by a new and daring treatment. Tiny electrodes, implanted in her brain, control her seizures and restore her to a normal life - free to repair a troubled marriage and resume an abandoned career.

But as part of her operation, Elizabeth agreed to have other, experimental electrodes implanted - in the so called "silent" areas of the brain whose functions are unknown to modern science. And, when one of those electrodes is stimulated, Elizabeth is gripped by strange, shattering sensations. They are not memories - at least, not HER memories. And, they are not hallucinations - least not HER hallucinations. They belong to someone else, someone Elizabeth has never known - a woman who lives three thousand miles away, and a hundred years in the past...

Her name is Jenny Curran, and Elizabeth has been given the uncanny ability to tune into Jenny’s life in nineteenth-century London. It is a tempting, overpowering experience - drifting in the mind and body of a wealthy, sensual woman from another time. Elizabeth begins to lose herself in Jenny Curran's world, in the seductive, graceful ways of Victorian high society... a world in which she will soon find love, and passion, and an awesome confrontation with unexpected terror.
