Wycliffe Manor, where secrets linger in crumbling halls and danger walks by candlelight…
Clarissa Knightley, the impoverished relation of daring—and now deceased— aristocrats, barely supports herself by writing gothic novels. When she unexpectedly inherits a portion of a remote ancestor’s estate, Clare hopes to find family and a secure haven for herself and her young nephew.
Instead, she discovers a brooding American army captain, his intimidating servant, and caretakers as ancient and unfriendly as the stones themselves. Horrified, prepared to return home, Clare is lured to linger by the prospect of secret diaries, hidden jewels, and an increasingly intriguing man—
Until a killer shatters their uneasy truce. Clare must untangle the manor’s sinister history before she becomes fodder for her own novels. Because at Gravesyde Priory, every shadow hides a threat—and the dead are not the only ones who keep secrets.
