Mystery, Romance, Suspense
According to the legend, six novices living in a Cornish convent strayed from their vows and were turned to stone. The seventh faced something quite different... Years later when the convent became the family mansion of the St. Larnston family, fate beckoned another young virgin. Kerensa Carlee was only a cottage girl, but she had ambition and beauty - and knew how to use them both. In that legend-haunted mansion, as a lady's maid, Kerensa began her perilous journey to womanhood. She stirred old memories and mysteries, bringing to that quiet corner of Victorian Cornwall an ancient vengeance and moonlight madness . . .
