An old man died and the curtain rose on an eerie drama. Orphaned Janet Bewleigh had become an heiress overnight, the unexpected reward for an act of kindness, and now the once-locked doors of her beloved Knight's Keep were open to her. But there was an aura of evil at the stately manor house; it weighed on Janet like an invisible shroud. She wondered about Lord Ashford, her enigmatic strangely atractive host, and about the sad dead girl whose ghost still hovered above the keep. And then Janet read the ancient family inscription and knew the final act would soon be played.
