House on the Bluff
by Elena Dorothy Bowman
Category: Fiction

A deserted house in New England contains a secret reaching back to the Crusades. In a White Stone Abbey, situated in a dense English forest, a scroll, which held the secret to the present day Pierce House on the opposite side of the Atlantic, lay hidden in a chamber behind an alter, protected down thru the ages by brown robed monks until the 18th Century. On the quill scripted parchment were words that foretold the future of a dwelling, its surrounding properties; and through the generations to its final location in consecrated grounds to a distant land across the seas. It also foretold of the horrendous trials set for it, and who the true owner would ultimately be. To the day she entered her ancestral home, with its promise of terror or fulfillment, The House On The Bluff maintained its enchantment and its ageless elegance, standing as a silent sentinel waiting for the one long destined to enter with her Consort, to claim ownership.
