Ready to flee, Clare hesitates when whispers of hidden diaries, stolen jewels, and long-buried secrets begin to surface—and her wary fascination with the captain deepens into something far more dangerous. Then murder shatters the uneasy peace. Trapped within the priory’s dark halls, Clare must unravel the estate’s sinister past before she becomes its next victim.
