Dragonseeds — Barbara Banks

Dragonseeds-crouching like some menacing beast on the cliffs above the sea: that was how fortress home of her Tregellas kinsman's seemed to Ruth at first sight. And there was danger within its granite walls, despite the veneer of beauty. Did it come from the arrogant Dominic, with his hard eyes and barely concealed skepticism, or grandfather, manipulating all their lives from his wheelchair? Was Bella's placid face a mask for resentment and hatred on behalf of her son, Simon, whose inheritance was threatened by Ruth, is newly discovered half-sister? Which ever way she turned, Ruth that dark Tregellas eyes, always carefully unveiling their innermost thoughts; even her father's matter was strange, evading discussion of her past, unwilling to help recover lost memory. So, with the carved dragons looming larger and larger in her thoughts, Ruth tried desperately to work out who wanted her dead, before was too late.
