THE PRECIOUS STONE OF GOOD FORTUNE DELIVERED HER INTO A DREADED HOUSE OF EVIL!
Strange stories were told about the Fenton Garnet and the powers attributed to it. But even stranger was the proposal made by the mysterious James Cole to young Betsy Turner: to wear the fabled ring and impersonate its rightful owner, the woman to whom Betsy bore a striking resemblance - his wife, Gail Fenton Cole.
Betsy couldn't resist the urge to place the ring on her finger... visit Fenton Castle dressed up in Gail's clothing... and meet Gail's grandparents. But once she saw the Garnet ring, it changed her life. She was ruled by it... her destiny somehow joined to the fate of the Fentons!
Once she wore the garnet ring, she was cursed!
GARNET -- THE JANUARY BIRTHSTONE -- valued since ancient times for its fiery red beauty
THE STONE WAS MAGIC -- WITH A MENACE ALL ITS OWN…
She did not awaken until dawn, and as she rose to wash in the basin of cold water, she happened to let her eyes take in the tiny surface of the dresser with the candle on it. And there beside the candle lay a garnet ring.
She stared at it for a long moment, her hand trembling with fear as she reached for it. This garnet ring was in a plain setting with little gold and no diamonds to enhance it.
