About this book

Nestled in the misty hills of Victorian Cornwall, Kerensa Carlee leaves her modest cottage to become a lady's maid in the imposing St. Larnston mansion, a former convent whose legend of six novices turned to stone still haunts its halls. As she works among the aristocratic family, she is drawn into the mansion's lingering mysteries and the unresolved fate of the seventh novice, discovering secrets that threaten to reshape her own future. Balancing ambition with the dangerous allure of the house's dark past, she must navigate a perilous journey into womanhood where desire, loyalty, and the weight of legend collide. The narrative blends gothic suspense with a young woman's struggle for self-determination in a world ruled by old superstitions.
