About This Book
When personal tragedy shattered her dreams, Jennifer had to begin life anew. She accepted a job on the island of Madeira—in a beautiful castle high in the mountains off the African coast. She was to be the companion of the aged Dona Christina.
She was presented with a mysterious locket, a gift from the grateful lady. But that gesture of love slowly transformed her happiness into dread. For the jewel had belonged to Dona Christina's step-sister, a woman gone mad with the pain of a long-lost love. And Jennifer seemed suddenly touched by the same evil fate—a fate that drove her into loneliness and desperation, that followed her, like footsteps, into the cold urns of death.
