The Jade Box — Nancy Faulkner

DAGGER-POINTS OF FEAR IN A HOUSE OF STONE

The great stone mansion of Point of Truth stood forbidding and alone overlooking the white-capped bay. The howling of the wind at night, the chill seeping up from dungeon-like cellars, were familiar to lovely young Molly Boyd. For this had been her home since she was orphaned as a little girl.

But only when Molly became mistress of Point of Truth did she discover what evil dwelled within its walls...what terror lay behind the mysterious last words of her dying guardian...what hideous curse was contained in the exquisite ancient Oriental box that was part of her legacy -- a legacy of horror she could not escape even with the aid of the man she thought she loved.
