The Lemoyne Heritage — Lyda Belknap Long
THE HEART OF A WITCH, SNATCHED FROM THE BURNING, WORN BY ANOTHER TO DOUBLE HER EVIL POWER
Jeanne Lemoyne, beautiful, frail heiress, returns to her birthplace, the Maison Sol, to flee the shadows of the dark fever haunting her. There she suffers hallucinations so vivid that she is convinced of their reality - it is as though someone touched a flaming brand to her tender skin. And there she discovers her tortuous heritage - that the women of the Lemoyne family retain the hated memory of the evil days when they were burned as witches in medieval France...and that she herself may be maliciously purposeful though unwitting cause of the murders of Maison Sol!
