Ominous clouds loom over Duncullen Estate.
Are they created by mystical forces?
Or a family history of insanity?
Young heir Richard yearns for an academic life. But his father insists he abandon his foppish dreams and run the estate like a man. Will he defy his father’s tyrannical demands? Or is he destined for a dismal life that is not his own?
Fleeing obscene poverty, Eveleen joins Duncullen’s staff where, scrawny and tattered, she is mocked.
Yet, Richard’s kindness captivates her. Loneliness draws them together. As their secret, forbidden romance blooms, so does Eveleen’s risk of dismissal. Fiercely in love, she ignores the prospect of eviction and starvation.
At the same time, Richard’s father is hell-bent on twisting his son into his own image. Tempers ignite. Pressures intensify. Richard becomes plagued by gruesome visions.
It cannot go on. He must stop the torture the only way he can.
A killing.
You can’t put down this riveting story of love, murder, and betrayal in 18th century Ireland.
