When Sophronia and Gabriel meet, she is hesitant to let her guard down after an abusive marriage but he is smitten. So he has taken a job as a minister in Pale Harbor, even though he knows little about the philosophy and is ill prepared to guide others. Gabriel Stone's wife was deep into transcendentalism before her death and Gabriel feels obligated to become the man she wanted him to be. But someone is dropping strange clues and threats on her doorstep, clues that only a person who knows literature can unravel. When bodies begin turning up, Sophy is blamed. The townfolk of Pale Harbor think she's a witch and a murderer so she's exiled herself with only two servants and a part-time helper in her sprawling Maine home, Castle Carver. Sophronia Carver was widowed 4 years ago.
