'When handsome Paul Acton asked her to marry him, it was the happiest day in Samantha Walton's life. Yet Samantha couldn't know that her love for Paul would soon lead her along a mazelike road of evil deceit to Finisterre -- the prisonlike mansion now owned by the Actons but once a home for the hopelessly insane.

'Samantha didn't want to be separated from Paul at all, but when he received an excellent job offer, his mother asked Samantha to come to Finisterre. There she wouldn't be as far from Paul and at the same time could help the family by putting their collection of rare books in order. And so Samantha entered the Acton mansion, little realizing that once she passed between its high, forbidding gates she might never leave again... '

'Fiddler's Tower, home of bestselling author Margrath Manan was all that her new secretary, lovely young Gwenefa Carnarvon, had dreamed it would be, steeped in the rich legacy of romance and violence of which Margrath wrote so well. But Fiddler's Tower held many eerie surprises. The mere mention of Gwenefa's name and the sight of her face immediately upset the precarious balance of patience and malice maintained by Margrath's greedy relatives. There were whispers of another Gwenefa long ago claimed by the sea. There were mutters of wills, locked rooms, and uncanny resemblances. And there was an evil, long-nutured within the ancient mansion, awaiting only the proper moment to strike.

'If it were not for Margrath's handsome nephew David, perhaps Gwenefa would have fled from the hostility of the tower dwellers. But surely David would protect her from whatever menace threatened. Yet what if he could not? What if she was doomed to the same fate as the Gwenefa who had vanished such a long time ago...? '
