Description:The name of Lady
Karoleigh Stafford was the mark of one death and the omen of more to
come. Her spirit permeated Walesly-Upon-Thames. Full-length portraits of
the splendid beauty hung from the walls. Her name was behind every
thought. Her ghost inhabited the block tower. Lady Karoleigh Stafford
was dead -- but she lived on in the flesh of her nineteen-year-old
daughter, a girl who was "more rain than storm, more shadow than
substance."
The pall which had fallen over the medieval castle
would not be lifted until history repeated itself. The agent of change
would be an outsider - another young woman - whose presence would bring
the drama to its climax and to its tragic end.
