Death's Dark Music

The Stewarts of Stormhaven #4

by Marilyn Ross, W.E.D. Ross (AKA)

Beautiful young Ann Stewart left her doom-haunted ancestral manor of Stormhaven in Scotland--yet the malevolent Stewart destiny seemed to have pursued her to a lonely French chateau.

The dazzling violinist who was its master had played a hypnotic song of love on her heartstrings--until he began to torment her nerves in a rising crescendo of suspicion. A handsome English stranger sounded discords of dread in her innermost depths with is warnings, and the hideous spectre of a white-haired fiend in human form appeared like a leitmotif of horror in her life. Friendless and afraid in this alien place where a lovely woman had mysteriously vanished before her, Anne fled through a subterranean labyrinth of treachery and violence, so terribly far from home, so periodically slice to a fate worse than death.
