From New York Times bestselling author and literary phenomenon Virginia Andrews comes a shivery gothic tale of romance, class divisions, and the secrets that haunt families for generations.

Fern and her mother have lived as servants in Wyndemere House, the old Gothic mansion of the Davenport family, for as long as she can remember. And her friendship with Dr. Davenport's son Ryder was never a problem... until they came of age.

As cruel forces try to come between Fern and Ryder, what really holds the biggest threat to their happiness is the past, and the truths it threatens them with.

For family intrigue and psychological chills, there is no author quite like Virginia Andrews.
