The Secret of the Dark Castle, or the Downstairs Neighbor

My life changed dramatically when, instead of an English cottage, the car drove me to a gloomy castle. The trouble is—here, popadanks aren’t welcome. The local lord looks at me like I’m an enemy, his sisters dream of getting rid of this distant relative, and the arrived bride-selection candidates think I’m the lover of the castle’s master. And to make it worse, magic woke up in me—something I hadn’t even suspected…

And all of this is happening right before the apocalypse, which only love can stop.
