1782. When fourteen-year-old Elsa Gray is sent in service to the remote and windswept Aldely Manor, she expects loneliness, hard work, and the brooding silence of the moors. What she doesn’t expect is the sense of being watched.

The master of the house, Lord Tine, is a reclusive man haunted by the past. Twenty-one years earlier, his beloved wife and twin sons drowned in a freak storm. But their bodies were never laid to rest.
