From Bohemian theatre-land to the aristocratic formality of a great house.
From the centre of London to the depths of Cornwall.
From the familiar to the utterly strange.
Downton Abbey meets Greek Myth
Cleo Otway, daughter of a celebrated actress, happy in her life in 1930s London, enters a new world when she arrives at Landrake House in Cornwall. An historic house set in glorious grounds. A place of dreams—and delusions.
There Cleo meets Lord Landrake, her austere and disapproving new stepfather. His three unhappy, unprincipled daughters, who treat her with disdain. His aloof nephew, terrified by nightmares.
And Fitz Falconer, her guide through the labyrinth of blackmail and dark secrets that haunt the Landrake family.
The past is a dangerous place. . .
