Ambergate — Patricia Elliott

I am the girl with no name. I have a number branded on my left arm, but no name. . . .I have a secret. A secret I must never tell. . . .I committed a crime. I did something so wicked I must never speak of it. If I did, they would come after me.

They call her Scuff. An orphan girl turned kitchen maid at Murkmere Hall, she is haunted by her dark past. With only her amulet to protect her, she can only flee for so long. Someday, she will have to return to the orphanage where it all began.

A companion book to Murkmere and a compelling gothic mystery it its own rite, Ambergate is rich with suspense and unforgettable characters.
