Leigh, the medium, is the other main character and Scott writes some of the novel from her point of view. She's a hopeful, naive, spiritualist who always has a ghost by her side. Her main goal is to make it back to her mother, in California, which she left for Europe in order to reconnect with her fiance. Who happens to break it off as soon as she arrives. Readers will connect with Leigh based on her personality. She's very loving and willing to use her gift to help those around her. 

The plot of this novel is full of mystery and paranormal occurrences. The hunt for Tristan is finally leading somewhere as Leigh begins having visions and dreams of him.
