Cassandra has never been denied anything. Her father's wealth ensured that. So when she marries Jeremy Thorne and arrives at his storm-lashed cliff-top manor, she expects the same obedience from fate itself. But there is one thing she cannot command into existence: an heir. As the cradle remains empty and Jeremy grows distant, Cassandra's longing twists into obsession. The echoing corridors of Thornehaven seem to close in, each shadow a reminder of her failure, each silence a taunt. Then, a letter arrives-irrefutable proof of betrayal, and of the child that should have been hers. In that moment, her world shatters. But her will does not break; it sharpens. She devises a plan-calculated, necessary, temporary. But lies, once planted, take root in dark places. They demand tending. They demand sacrifice. Now, bound to Thornehaven by a deceit growing more perilous each day, Cassandra discovers that the most dangerous thing in the house is not the wind, or the shadows, or the secrets locked behind its doors. It is her.
