When Tabitha Penrose accepts an invitation to a Cornish Manor - Marrowhall House, she steps from the safety of girlhood into a world that will devour her innocence. Behind its gilded doors lie secrets too dangerous to whisper: a gallery heavy with grief, women bound by chains of silence, and two bachelors locked in a contest of charm and cruelty. Drawn into their orbit, Tabitha is forced to navigate the treacherous passage between adolescence and adulthood, where every choice bears the weight of betrayal, temptation, and survival. As laughter curdles into ruin and masks are torn away, she must decide whether to yield, to fight, or to be broken entirely. A Victorian Gothic tale of innocence lost, love tested, and the perilous threshold between youth and womanhood.
