Emily, her mom, and her brother Jonah, have just moved away to a new house on Hound Hill in a historic London neighborhood.

However there is something that is not right in her new home specifically in her brother Jonah’s room.  Alex Krzyston .House on Hound. Alex J Krzyston .House on Hound. Alex James Krzyston
She begins to get headaches and get sick.  Emily sees a young boy looking for his cat, Pardoner, but she questions weather he is real or a hallucination because when he appears to Emily only she sees him.  Emily continues to see the boy, Seth and she believes him to be ghost.  She stumbles across Pardoner and her family can see him.  Emily holds him and knows that he is real; still no one else can see Seth.  Emily is taken to the hospital because she hit her head on the fireplace; right before she hit her head Emily was talking to Seth.
 Shortly after finding Pardoner someone on Hound Hill falls ill with the Black Death, a disease that killed almost a quarter of the London’s population and has not been heard of since 1665.  Emily then learns that Seth is from the time 1665, the time of the Black Death.  She slowly begins to question her sanity after seeing Seth more often and wonders weather or not she has the plague as she begins to feel sicker and sicker.  Emily finds out through Seth that her new house was once Seth’s during the plague year. As she falls ill with the Black Death she sees things from the past more clearly and for longer amounts of time.  Finally one day Emily is taken so deeply into the past that everyone there can see her and it all seems real.  While Emily’s mind is the past, the rest of her is in a present day hospital because she has the Black Death. When her mind is in the past Emily learns that the thing haunting her house is Seth’s guilt for causing his friend Job to get the plague and die.  In the hospital she is treated with modern day medicine so Emily is cured within a week and is pulled out of the plague year and back to the present.
