About This Book
"HE MAY NOT BE A MURDERER, BUT HE IS MOST CERTAINLY A MONSTER!"
The chilling warning referred to the Comte de Louvais who had just hired Sarica Dryden as governess for his two wealthy orphaned nieces. Ignoring the danger, Sarica accompanies the little girls to the ancestral mansion in Saida - and quickly finds herself entangled in ancient family feuds and mysteries no one will explain.
To her horror, she discovers that the girls in her charge are being threatened by evil relatives. To what lengths would this strange family go to obtain the girls' fortune? Was Sarica putting her own life in danger to protect theirs? Or was Sarica herself the unknown killer's intended victim?
