Resolved to seek out her past, she travels from London to the brooding countryside mansion of Pemberton Hurst. Leyla longs to find a loving family, but more importantly, she needs to uncover the truth of her past.But the Pembertons seem strangely reluctant to discuss family history, and the house feels smothered by the weight of untold secrets.

A murderer roams the corridors of Pemberton Hurst, and Leyla is suddenly thrown into a maelstrom of deceit, madness, and horror.
