    About this audiobook

    A haunting legend. An ominous curse. A search for a secret buried deep within the castle walls.

    In 1870, orphaned Daisy François takes a position as housemaid at a Wisconsin castle to escape the horrors of her past life. There she finds a reclusive and eccentric Gothic authoress who hides tales more harrowing than the ones in her
    novels. As women disappear from the area and the eerie circumstances seem to parallel a local legend, Daisy is thrust into a web that could ultimately steal her sanity, if not her life.

    In the present day, Cleo Clemmons is hired by the grandson of an American aristocratic family to help his grandmother face her hoarding in the dilapidated Castle Moreau. But when Cleo uncovers more than just the woman’s stash of
    collectibles, a century-old mystery and the dust of the old castle’s curse threaten to rise again … this time to leave no one alive to tell the sordid tale.

    Award-winning author Jaime Jo Wright seamlessly weaves a dual-time tale of two women who must do all they can to seek the light amid the darkness shrouding Castle Moreau.

      Jamie has a gift for telling an interwoven story through time never once do you feel lost or confused just an awe of these women and their connected stories. This story is about a home, a home where women disappear. It is a story about fear, and redemption and identity I loved every min of it

      Well done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

      Excellent, complex story that really draws the listener in. The writing was very rich in description and the story had me guessing what would come next.
