In 1836 in England, Morag Douglas is visiting a secret garden with her father where her sister and cousins were mentored into being Followers of the Secret Heart, a secret group of strong women with special gifts. But Morag wasn’t mentored because Imanie suddenly died. She was supposed to mentor her too, but now she is gone and Morag feels left out. Imanie had given her a special brooch worn only by those chosen, but she decides to bury it at Imanie’s grave when Mazelina shows up and talks with her about her gift. Then her father calls her and they have to go home to Scotland. Morag tries to think of a way to get back to the garden to talk to Mezelina when an opportunity conveniently arrives in an invitation.
