A windswept moor. A house in ruins. A secret to unlock...

The past can hold you in its spell...

1924. Lord and Lady Kearsley's glittering Summer Ball is in full swing when their betrothed daughter Xanthe slips out of the Orangery and into the maze for a secret encounter. By the next morning, the grand house will be in ashes and two bodies removed, but no one will ever know what happened that night in Winterthorne.

Stumbling upon the ruins of Kearsley Castle, she learns about the fire that destroyed the family.

But as she becomes drawn deeper into Xanthe's story, she discovers that danger lies not only in uncovering the past, but in the present too...
