In the shadowy corridors of an ancestral mansion, where the weight of history presses upon every creaking floorboard, a tale of pride and downfall unfolds. This evocative historical fiction novel, set against the atmospheric backdrop of early 20th century England, weaves a narrative rich in gothic literature's finest traditions. As family legacies clash with personal ambition, the resulting interpersonal conflict becomes a haunting exploration of human nature's complexities. Long out of print and now revived by Alpha Editions, this classic literature gem offers a window into a bygone era, restored for today's and future generations.

For fans of historical drama and readers of gothic novels, this story resonates with the same dark allure found in Marjorie Bowen novels and works comparable to Daphne du Maurier. The novel's exploration of pride and downfall speaks to timeless themes, making it as relevant now as when it was first penned. As secrets unravel and tensions mount, the narrative grips both casual readers and those who cherish classic collections, offering a compelling journey into the heart of human ambition and its consequences.
