Spring, 1811… A stranger arrives at Wyverne Hall<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n
\nDowager Marchioness, but she also has another reason for coming to the infamous
\nWyverne mansion, one that will shake the family to their core.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nreturns now to see his beloved grandmother. He takes little interest in the
\ngoings on of the house, until the arrival of Mademoiselle Delavallois. There\u2019s
\nsomething about her that he can\u2019t put his finger on; it’s as if he\u2019s seen her
\nbefore, but surely, that is not possible\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n
\ncannot allow herself to fall for him, because her intentions towards the family
\nare resolute \u2013 revenge. But inside the walls of Wyverne Hall, she discovers the
\nrumours about the family barely scratch the surface, and she can\u2019t escape the
\ndangerous allure of the Viscount.<\/span><\/p>\n
