Audrey Hall is the youngest daughter of Earl Hall, the star of Backlund's salons, and a girl who dreamed of the supernatural more than all of high society - of balls. Her dream came true in a big way: she became one of the first three members of the Tarot Club under the name Justice.
Through the Club, she received the Spectator potion and began the path of a Seer: reading people by gestures, hearing thoughts, healing broken minds. Audrey applies her psychology lessons on family members, socialites, and - with special pleasure - on criminals.
Behind the facade of a naive aristocrat quickly emerges one of the most perceptive figures of the novel: Audrey grows from an enthusiastic debutante to a force that churches reckon with. Her faithful companion is the otherworldly dog Susie, smarter than most people.
