Ancient Wullshed. What secrets are hidden in its dark corridors? What riddles do the old walls conceal? What do the family legends connected to the castle keep silent about? Life at an English estate moves slowly and steadily—but Countess Wensfield, the young wife of the owner of Wullshed, is in no hurry to trust this deceptive calm. Too often she feels someone’s intense gaze on her. And too many questions does her own marriage raise. And if you add the wonderfully lifelike portraits, mysterious strangers, and strange mirrors, the questions only multiply.
