Soon she felt a far different chill as she became involved with the Hermitage and its strange inhabitants...the sickly and secretive child...the terror-stricken servant...the violently raging master...his coldly beautiful wife...the handsome son who the local people called a devil, but whose charms Andrea could not resist. A shameful secret haunted them all--a horror that reached out to claim Andrea as a victim...
