The past is never far behind.…
Ellen
Kellaway, orphaned at age five, was raised by wealthy cousins, but was
never allowed to forget that her every advantage was owed to the charity
of others. However, when the son of a powerful London family asks for
her hand in marriage, her world is opened up to untold wealth and social
position. She never imagined that such an unlikely dream would come
true.
Despite these wonderful new developments in her life, Ellen
continues to be wracked by the bad dreams that have haunted her since
childhood. What is the meaning of the lifelong nightmare—the image of
an unfamiliar room, a door opening and behind it a dreadful presence?
Perhaps it is a message urging her to uncover the secrets of her
long-lost family—the secrets of the ancient home of the Kellaways on the
Far Island, off the wild coast of Cornwall.
