A missive of death called young Laura back to Storm House after eight years in Paris. Her proud, beautiful mother had committed suicide by leaping off Cliff's Edge. Laura had been sent away to school when her mother discovered her love for Armand, her stepfather's poor nephew. Now Armand also returned to Storm House, but he had changed into a brooding, secretive person. Her home had become a deadly trap - boulders hurtled out of nowhere, the vicious mastiffs got loose and attacked her and a ghostly vision of evil appeared in her room. Laura knew someone in this strange, decaying mansion wanted her dead and would stop at nothing until her lifeless body was flung from the treacherous cliffs! Gothic horror/romance at its highest.
