Awakening, she discovers that she has gained an exceptionally powerful memory, which soon allows her to learn the violin at an extraordinary speed. Once her town becomes infected with an intruding group of seeming phantasms, she is swept into an adventure, together with ghosts from the present and past, to rescue her town from the intruders. Before Dark is a maze of political, financial and spiritual intrigue whose many conflicts, pursuits and legends will capture the reader in a thrilling chase until its dramatic conclusion.
