The little lost girl with no memory of her past continues her life journey at haunted Sheffield Academy. Formerly a lunatic asylum where tortured ghosts still roam and soon make contact with the new arrival, it now houses the wayward daughters of the nouveau riche whose malicious pranks make Skye feel like an unwanted misfit….something they soon come to regret when they find out the little mountain girl can more than hold her own.Just before graduation while still under her grandmother’s guardianship, she receives a letter summoning her to Sea Cliffe House to oversee her care. Though supposedly an invalid now, Skye is all too aware that she had killed before and might well be planning her own demise. Despite the risk, she decides to comply in hopes of finding proof of her crimes and justice for the dead.When she arrives at the sprawling, seaside house with its widow’s walk and distant lighthouse view, she feels like she had just stepped between the pages of a Gothic thriller. Was she strong enough now to survive the profound evil that waited for her within its walls? It was a question she asked herself again and again hoping… rather desperately…the answer was ‘yes’.
