Downfall

At the age of nineteen, Barbara Sheffield is stunned to learn she's not her parents' daughter but the child of Aric kan Ingan, Margrave of Arcanis, and not only that, she has a twin brother. Soon, she's on her way to a joyous reunion with the father she has never known, but there are others on Arcanis who aren't so glad to meet the Margrave's long-lost child, including Aric's second wife, Dr. Susan Moran. Dazzled with her new family and charmed by her handsome but spoiled twin, Barbara finds herself falling in love with Eden san Gene, the young White Shield sent to escort her from Earth. When vengeful forces trigger treachery and madness, Eden's love may not be enough to protect her from the wickedness hidden within Aljansur Palace's walls.
