The Cranes of Ibycus = Shadows of the Past — Mary Shura Craig

THE FACE OF DEATH

Chrys Clement awoke to the darkness of a sleeping house. The mist hung like a silver veil and shrouded the house in a ghostly light.

Her grandfather lay dying -- and with his last breaths, he summoned her to his room. She agreed to his one last request -- that she find a man named Mathew Martin -- and repay a debt of old.

But Chrys didn't know. On that chill winter night, that the search would lead her into the arms of evil and drive her to a terror worse than death.
