What It's About!
A GOTHIC ROMANCE. MISTY MOORS. ANCIENT SECRETS. FORBIDDEN PASSIONS.
Her mother had always been afraid. That's what Damaris remembered. From the time she was a little girl until the day her mother died, she had seen the fear in her eyes.
But now she understood. Now she was afraid, too.
Young Damaris wanted more than anything to be happy at Thornoak, the
ancient manor owned by her aunt and uncle. Adventuring through the wide,
open beauty of the Dale in the company of her rambunctious cousins she
rediscovered a joy she had thought lost with the death of her parents.
And in the deep, storm-tossed eyes of Lauran Ashbrigg she was surprised
to find an entirely new emotion.
But even under the warm and inviting sun, Damaris is chilled by the
undeniable fact that the family which claims to welcome and love her is
hiding truths from her: The truth of the Lady Stone. The truth of the
Old Ways. The truth of moon and star and witchcraft.
The truth of her mother's death.
~PRAISE FOR MARGARET FRAZER~
"Exquisitely written, the novel offers a brilliantly realized vision...
Suspenseful from start to surprising conclusion, this is another gem
from an author who's twice been nominated for an Edgar." - Publisher's
Weekly
"Love the passionate attention to detail in character, custom, and
setting, and the sympathetic creation of believable people and events.
Essential." - Library Journal of New York
“A lovingly told story, rich with fascinating description. Ms. Frazer
provides a real treat for lovers of all things.” – Toby Bromberg,

and a lively plot should endear her tales to anyone..." - Minneapolis

and dangerous plot... Great fun for all!" - Alfred Hitchcock Magazine

Twice nominated for the Edgar Award.
A Romantic Times Top Pick.
A Herodotus Award Winner.
Margaret Frazer is the award-winning author of more than twenty
historical murder mysteries and novels, including the Edgar-nominated
Sister Frevisse and Player Joliffe series. She makes her home in
Minneapolis, Minnesota, surrounded by her books, but she lives her life
in the 1400s.
"Over the years I’ve had a rag-tag of various jobs, including
librarian, secretary, reseacher for a television station, gift shop
manager, and assistant matron at an English girls’ school. Married once
upon a time but not anymore, I have two well-grown sons who become
uneasy if I read books about poisons at the supper table and refuse to
turn their backs on me when I say I want to try something I might use in
a story. When I write, I want to delve as far inside the perceptions of
my characters as possible, to look at their world more from their point
of view than from ours, because the pleasure of going thoroughly into
otherwhen as well as otherwhere — the chance to move right away from the
familiar into a whole other way of seeing and behaving — has always been
one of my own great pleasures in reading. As a writer I deeply want to
give that same pleasure to others."
