Zina, eager to learn more about the spirit world and her powers, performs the séance. She is able to summon the Grand Duke, but to her horror, he starts to haunt the shop, and he seems to know something sinister about her mother’s death.As Zina delves into her family’s hidden past, dark secrets are unearthed, threatening the home and tearoom Zina and her grandmother have worked so hard to build, not to mention their very lives. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/052441c0-25d5-11f1-8500-4f0c3b0bf48e-rimg-w914-h740-dc171314-gmir.jpg About the speakers:Olesya Salnikova Gilmore is the author of and .
