As she drew nearer the great hall, Sarah fought back the fear and dark memories that had made her a stranger at its gates. Six years ago she had been a baronet's daughter, and this had been her home. Now, sixteen and fatherless, she was an actress begging her aunt, Lady Sefton, to take her back. But her aunt drove her away with the bitter words that Sarah was not a Sefton, and worse, that her true father was unknown. Cruelly hurt, Sarah vowed there would come a day of reckoning -- when Lady Sefton would be humbled and Sarah would again rule her ancestral mansion. | As she drew nearer the great hall, Sarah fought back the fear and dark memories that had made her a stranger at its gates.
