Sirius Boa has night sight-an uncanny way of affixing to inanimate
objects that which lets him see them in the dark. He first became
aware of this talent during a midnight raid on a chicken coop. As
he matured, he honed this faculty until he could imbue an ottoman
with the aura he once bestowed upon anthills. He calls it, "giving
breath, then space." He has other talents besides-he can discern
faint whisperings. But it is his night sight that will guide him in
his battle against the terrible dark that has descended upon the
Rouen countryside. This is the story of Sirius Boa, an American
called to Rouen to help heal a stricken friend. It is the story of
Giselda, the mysterious Gypsy he befriends, and of Madame de la
Plume, doleful mistress of the magnificent and tragic Briand
estate. This is the story of a haunting, and of an entity that has
existed upon the plains of central France for millennia. It is the
story of two people who find each other in the midst of this
haunting, and of a third person who is part lover, part hater, and
part key to their very survival.
