The young Earl of Athal is handsome and poetic yet tortured, like his father before him. Within its embrace Lucy is drawn into friendship with Tynan Jago. The ancient Cornish castle, known locally as Tenebris, is a dark monument to the family’s history and secrets. But Lucy’s initial gratitude at Lady Demelza Jago’s benevolence soon gives way to unease.
