Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

It was in the shadow hours of deepest night that this tapestry of lies fell to rags . . .Harriet Jenner is just twenty-one when she walks through the gates of Fenix House. Reeling from a personal tragedy, she doesn't expect her new life as a governess to be easy. But she certainly does not foresee the spell Fenix House will cast.Almost fifty years later, Harriet's granddaughter Grace follows in her footsteps.
