description: [Alternate cover edition for ASIN: B00TG2HV0U]It is 1837 and the young Queen Victoria has just ascended the English throne. Orphaned and penniless after her fathers death in India Lucy Alleyne is forced to accept a post as companion to an elderly lady until a distant relative spirits her away to Castle Athal on the Cornish coast. But Lucys initial gratitude at Lady Demelza Jagos benevolence soon gives way to unease. The ancient Cornish castle known locally as Tenebris is a dark monument to the familys history and secrets. Within its embrace Lucy is drawn into friendship with Tynan Jago. The young Earl of Athal is handsome and poetic yet tortured like his father before him. Tynan is utterly different from his uncle Uther whose seductive leonine power radiates from his every word and gesture. Between them the two Jago men have innocent Lucy enthralledmind body and soul. If she remains within the bloodstained castle walls with their history of ill-starred passion and madness a mere broken heart will seem a blessing.
