When aristocrat Ives Hayward hires on orphaned governess Violet Ramsey as tutor for his ward, Violet thinks she knows what to expect in accepting a post at Winterbury Hall. She could not be more wrong. Lord Hayward's ward Cassius Vaughn is not a child, but a grown man, only one servant tends the property, and the Master of the House encourages informality from his employees. Yet these are not the only unusual things about life at Winterbury. Whispers from dark corners & fleeting glimpses of things that shouldn't be make her question if monsters are real. Though rationale tells her to flee, her wayward heart and a quickly budding love for Ives and Cassius urges her to stay. How long can the seductive ruse of her employers keep her from learning the truth?
