About This Book

A Gothic tale set within an ancient castle follows a young man who, amid storm and darkness, explores neglected halls and secret stairways that reveal damp passages and noxious fungi. Encounters with uncanny signs and the relics of earlier generations precipitate the gradual unearthing of ancestral secrets, buried relationships, and concealed chambers. Suspenseful scenes of investigation and midnight ventures alternate with social and emotional complications among the castle's inhabitants, including hints of romance, rivalry, and obligation. Rich atmosphere, vivid description, and episodic revelations sustain a mood of dread and mystery while long-hidden truths come slowly to light.
