Chapter 18 Summary

Signa meets with Blythe’s maid Elaine, who has been dressing Signa since her arrival. She questions Elaine about her relationship with the Hawthornes but does not think she is a killer. Elaine tells Signa about a male ghost that the servants have spotted in the library. A letter is slipped under Signa’s door. The letter has come from Sylas, asking Signa to meet him at the stables at 11 that night.

Chapter 19 Summary

Signa sneaks out of Thorn Grove while another party is in full swing. She runs into Byron Hawthorne, but he lets Signa go once he spots Marjorie. At the stables, Sylas tells Signa that he overheard Byron tell Marjorie about meeting at Grey’s gentleman’s club. Signa and Sylas ride to Grey’s before Byron and Marjorie can arrive, and Signa feels herself growing more interested in Sylas. She asks him if he thinks that Byron or Marjorie could be involved in Lillian’s murder, as Byron has the motive of wanting control of Grey’s while Marjorie seems romantically interested in Elijah.

When they make it to Grey’s, Sylas picks the lock. They enter just as they hear a carriage coming, and must hide in a coat closet.
