Viviann Clarke is the new wife of Lord Peter Halsby, owner of the grand ancestral Halsby Estate in the sleepy town of Halsbrook. For almost a century, misery and anguish have shrouded the property and its inhabitants, and Viviann has been thrust to the helm. As she navigates the trials of marriage and motherhood, she must also untangle the web of mysteries that lie at the heart of the house. In the style of some of the great gothic writers, Edgar Allan Poe and Daphne du Maurier, this story employs the usual gothic elements: a creepy house, the foggy English countryside, and a brave woman on the brink of madness.
