Synopsis
Ireland, 1864. Newly-orphaned heiress Maud Ruthyn becomes ward of her notorious uncle, Silas Ruthyn. Maud, grief-struck and proud, rejects support from her two trustees, Dr. Bryerly and Captain Ilbury, and welcomes Silas, his children Emily and Edward, and governess Madame to her isolated manor. But the arrival of Maud’s estranged family is in fact a malign home invasion. Silas plans to secure her inheritance for himself, and compel Maud to forfeit her position by marrying her cousin Edward—or dying. Threatened, betrayed, and outnumbered by Silas and his allies, teenaged Maud now has to fight for her birthright. Instead of breaking her, the escalating danger sparks gambit after gambit against her charming, dangerous uncle—and a final, murderous showdown.
