Synopsis
When her mother dies in 1857, Leyla's only links with her heritage and family are a letter and a name -- Pemberton. Resolved to seek out her past Leyla travels from London to the brooding mansion of Pemberton Hurst. Here she hopes to find the loving family she longs for, and to unlock the past. For she has no memory of the first five years of her life -- spent under that very roof.
However, the Pembertons seem strangely reluctant to discuss the past and the house feels smothered by the weight of untold secrets. Increasingly torn between the safety of life with her sophisticated fiance in London and a new, dangerous love, Leyla no longer knows whom to trust. Then terror strikes, and it seems a murderer roams the corridors of Pemberton Hurst...
