Dark Castle Silver Strand — Jean English
ONE WAS GOOD, ONE WAS EVIL BUT NOT EVEN SHE COULD TELL THEM APART...
Used to the gaiety of the cafes of Europe -- where she and her father entertained -- Francesca Bell was unprepared for the stark forbidding landscape of the Isle of Man. But circumstances forced her to be governess to young Beth, the strangely guarded sister of the Master of Castle Crovan.
Soon she encouraged Beth to become friendly with the Grevilles, a nearby family of landed gentry who lived at Silver Strand. The Grevilles were gay, shining -- and a little bit decadent.... And this friendship brought down the furious wrath of Cullan Crovan.
Francesca discovered that two dark barriers lay between Castle Crovan and Silver Strand. One was the unexplainable one-sided fury of Cullan Crovan toward Ralph Greville. The other was an ancient structure dedicated to evil -- the Circle of Blood -- a hallowed altar still used for sacrificial rites....
