“I was sixteen when my grandmother died for the first time...” Sarah Parsons had never seen Amber House, the large Maryland estate that had belonged to her family for three centuries. I never wandered through its labyrinth in the form of a hedge, I never found secret rooms there; she never noticed the shadows that haunted him, never found the lost diamonds in his walls. But all this would soon change. After her grandmother passes away, Sarah and her friend Jackson decide to look for diamonds - and the house comes to life. She learns that she can see visions of the house's past, such as an eighteenth-century sea captain who hid treasure, or a charming great-grandmother who went mad with grief. She becomes close to Jackson and a young man named Richard Hathaway, whose family histories are deeply intertwined with her own. But when the visions begin to threaten someone dear to her, Sarah decides to do whatever it takes to get to the root of the house's secrets and stop the course of history before it is set in stone forever.
