“Ye have been here before, child. Ye cannot deny it.” As an infant, Gwynneth Morys was left in a basket on the steps of a simple cottage in the South of Wales. Now, the kindly couple who raised her have died; she is an orphan once again, totally alone in the world with only her odd, recurring dreams—dreams of a towering mansion on the moors…a beautiful lady in a pale green gown…a tall man whose dark eyes speak of love. Bereft of funds and family, Gwynneth has no choice but to accept the only offer of work to come her way—a position as a companion to an elderly woman in the North of Wales. And as Gwynneth approaches the many-turreted manor house rising out of the mist, close by the fog-enshrouded moors and still closer to the roiling sea, she knows that this is the place she has dreamed of all her life. But not even in her dreams was Gwynneth aware of the tragic death of Lady Jane’s only daughter, or the dark desire for vengeance that still burns in the old woman’s heart. Nor does she guess that an enemy—her enemy—lurks among the shadowy towers, waiting for her to climb a certain flight of stairs to the one turret from which there could be no escape…and no one to hear her plea for mercy.

By parker Let me preface my remarks by saying that the last historical romantic fiction I'd read was sometime in the last century. What I found so utterly satisfying about this book is Ms. Walker's command of grammar, vocabulary, and punctuation. Because of this, her prose, and hence the story, become completely engrossing. It is refreshing to not have to stop while my brain processes 'waive' when 'wave' was the word which should have been used. Her cliche-free writing goes beyond craftsmanship and into the realm of art. I'm looking forward to reading another of her books, just for the beauty of her words.

Satisfying traditional gothic romance By Amanda This book was very much in keeping with the gothic romances I love to read by authors like Victoria Holt and Phyllis Whitney. A first-person story opens with an innocent, orphaned heroine offered a position in a grand, unfamiliar home. She soon discovers her close ties with the home may unlock the secrets of her mysterious origin, while also jeopardizing her life. The book was very well-written, with an elegant prose that reminded me at times of novels by Thomas Hardy or the hushed, brooding tone of Daphne du Maurier. I enjoyed the well-developed peripheral characters who held the story in close suspense throughout. I appreciated that the mannerisms of the characters were distinctly Victorian and that their behavior and dialogue seemed realistic for the time.The only thing missing from the story for me was more romance. While it seems evident a romance will evolve between the heroine and her male friend, I would have liked to see it within the story. I would have liked more passion. However, it was a good story, and I look forward to reading more by this author. The preview at the end of this electronic edition, of In Time, looks promising.I was given this story by the author through a Goodreads group for review purposes.
