Description
When personal tragedy shattered her dreams, Jennifer had to begin life anew. She accepted a job on the island of Madeira -- in a beautiful castle high in the mountains off the African coast. She was to be the companion of the aged Dona Christina.
She was presented with a mysterious locket, a gift from the grateful lady. But that gesture of love slowly transformed her happiness into dread. For the jewel had belonged to Dona Christina's step-sister, a woman gone mad with the pain of a long-lost love. And Jennifer seemed suddenly touched by the same evil fate -- a fate that drove her into loneliness and desperation, that followed her, like footsteps, into the cold urns of death.
