The Soul Eater by Barbara Russell
Auckland, 1886
Accused of a crime she didn’t commit, Lisbeth escapes from Slovenia and flies to New Zealand illegally. She’s a seer, able to see both the past and the future . . . sometimes. Her capricious power comes and goes as it pleases, causing more damage than good.
With a new identity and a new job as a chambermaid in a five stars hotel, she simply wants a quiet life. Her wish seems to be granted until she witnesses a lady with silver hair killing the French ambassador.
Chased by the silver-haired lady and worried that going to the police would mean being arrested herself, Lisbeth flees. Again.
Without money or a place to hide, she accidentally finds herself hired by handsome Lord Jamie Cleath-Steward as the governess of three Supernatural children. Three! She didn’t see that coming. One child can become invisible. Another can lift a boulder with a hand, and the third can spit fire.
Still, she won’t work for Jamie for long. As soon as she has enough money, she’ll leave again. But she doesn’t count on Jamie being such a charming and caring man, showing her that, with a bit of trust, he could help her. Her divining power remains frustratingly silent as she tries to understand if she can trust him. The problem is that her heart has already decided.
