Behind the glamour of an ancient house, a very modern woman finds herself trapped in a marriage market run by the dead.
From the master of subtle, psychological horror, Margaret Irwin, comes a chilling tale of ancestral obsession and romantic doom.
Young, sensible, and perhaps a little bored, the heroine finds herself drawn into the orbit of an eccentric family and their magnificent, oppressive estate. But she soon realizes that the present owners are not the only ones surveying her suitability.
The true lord of the manor is the restless ghost of a long-dead Monsieur, who believes the house needs a wife. He haunts the halls, not with chains and moans, but with an irresistible, terrifying charm, subtly influencing the living to fulfill his endless search for a bride. The game of courtship becomes a desperate struggle against a pervasive, predatory psychic power.
Blending the elegance of a period romance with a creeping sense of dread, Irwin crafts a story of possession, historical obsession, and the horror of being chosen by a love that transcends the grave.
A ghost wants to marry her. And what he wants, he always gets.
