About This Book

A snowbound mountain stronghold frames a family drama sparked by the patriarch's death and the reading of his will, which redistributes estates and assigns guardianship of a young heiress. Tensions surface between an austere elder and his resentful son as memories of a disgraced woman who abandoned name and home complicate loyalties. Themes of duty, inheritance, reputation, and compassion run through a moody, gothic atmosphere, while vanished jewels and small mysteries hint at hidden attachments and forthcoming reckonings among relatives and retainers.
