Sinopsis

Marie-Ange Hawkins is just eleven when a tragic accident marks the end of her idyllic life in a beautiful French chateau. Orphaned and alone, she is sent to live with her great-aunt on a farm in Iowa. Bitterly resented by the old woman, Marie-Angie is forced to work tirelessly, dreaming only of returning to her beloved Chateau de Marmouton. In Marie-Angel's isolated existence, only the friendship of a local boy, Billy Parker, offers comfort. But her only wish is to gain an education -and escape. Then, just after her twenty-first birthday, an unexpected visitor brings a extraordinary gift: the freedom to return to France. When she arrives, Marie-Ange learns that Chateau de Marmouton's new owner is Comte Bernard de Beauchamp, a young widower who invites her into his home, then his heart. But their magical marriage, which soon includes children, slowly takes an ominous turn. A mysterious woman tells Marie-Ange a story so chilling she doesn't want to believe it. And as the darkness gathers around her, Marie-Ange must find the faith and courage to take one last desperate step to save her loved ones... and herself.
