A novel by Magda Alexander
An ancient abbey. A house full of secrets. A murder decades in the making.
When a dangerous outbreak makes it impossible for the Rosehaven family to return to their ancestral seat, the Duke of Steele offers Thornburn Abbey as a refuge for Lady Rosalynd and two of her younger sisters. It’s not as selfless as it sounds. Steele needs a hostess for a gathering of progressive peers who have come together to strategize sweeping reforms certain to upend the established order.Rosalynd soon discovers that politics is not the only source of tension beneath the abbey’s ancient roof. Among the guests is a powerful lord whose arrogance and sharp tongue have earned him no shortage of enemies. When the man is murdered, suspicion immediately falls upon his political rivals. But as Rosalynd and Steele are drawn into an increasingly tangled investigation, Rosalynd becomes less convinced that politics lies at the heart of the crime.
As if murder were not enough to contend with, tensions flare between Steele and his black sheep younger brother, a battle of wills erupts between Rosalynd’s sister and one of the assembled lords, and Rosalynd’s youngest sibling insists she has seen a ghost wandering the grounds.
Thornburn has kept its secrets for generations. And as Rosalynd and Steele begin to uncover them, they discover that some grievances are not forgotten with the passage of time—and some secrets are worth killing to keep buried.
