A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

It's 1895, and after the death of her mother, 16-year-old Gemma Doyle is shipped off from the life she knows in India to Spence, a proper boarding school in England. Lonely, guilt-ridden, and prone to visions of the future that have an uncomfortable habit of coming true, Gemma's reception there is a chilly one. To make things worse, she's being followed by a mysterious young Indian man, a man sent to watch her. But why? What is her destiny? And what will her entanglement with Spence's most powerful girls - and their foray into the spiritual world - lead to?

Libba Bray is the New York Times bestselling author of The Diviners, Labyrinth of Dreams, Beauty Queens, the 2010 Printz Award-winning Going Bovine, and the critically acclaimed Gemma Doyle trilogy. She is a resident of Brooklyn, New York.
