    Now, at eighteen, her long awaited return to Glengarra Castle in County Down was a bitter disappointment. Once again, she was an exile ... in her own home. Her father was a frail shadow of his former robust self: her brother Hugh, embittered and violent; her childhood sweetheart, hostile to the Kincaids and quick to turn his back on Elly.

Powerfully drawn to the brooding, intense Gavan, Elly was determined to ignore the whispered threats, the hints of ghosts and banshees, even the startling sight of a pale woman in her mirror, standing behind her...Then Elly heard the wailing sounds from the Tower. Someone was trying to terrify her ... trying to sap her strength... trying to make her a prisoner...
