About the book
"I HAVE WON ENOUGH GOLD TONIGHT....GIVE ME YOUR DAUGHTER, SIR, AND LET US FORGET THE DEBT." And so began Tessa's strange marriage to Damon Tregaron, the enigmatic young lord of Lyonesse Abbey. The marriage grew even stranger, day by day. -- Why did Damon treat her as a child, not as a wife? What was hidden behind the walls of the garden? Why were the villagers afraid to work at the Abbey? And was the hooded figure she glimpsed in the mist only her imagination, or was he real? Tessa knew that she must solve the mystery that haunted the Abbey, or she could never truly be Damon's wife. And suddenly, she wanted that more than anything in the world.
