(2) YA Victorian girl Sarah, scion of a once-proud family, sells her soul for ownership of her birthright, Darkwater Hall, for a hundred years. At the close of that century (Sarah hasn't aged) she befriends (present-day) fifteen-year-old Tom; the two hurry to prevent the imminent loss of Sarah's soul. Plot and characters are skillfully developed and greatly enhanced by the aura of malevolence in Fisher's Faustian novel.
