To make things worse, she' s been followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence' s most powerful girls-- and their foray into the spiritual world-- lead to? "From the Hardcover edition." Distributed by Syndetic Solutions, Inc.
