A plea for help brings Catherine Weston to remote Cairncroft Abbey, where she finds a terrified young woman, a crumbling estate, and the emotionally guarded, dangerously attractive Gabriel St. Aubyn. Jack the Ripper-style murders, long-buried secrets, family curses, and deeply rooted insanity are only a few of the issues that underlie this beautifully written, highly seductive romance. In true Gothic fashion, it provides an ominous setting, suspect servants, and a chilling mystery with a classic hero-or-villain dilemma. Verdict Silver (Dark Prince) spins a mesmerizing tale of evil enhanced by a Gothic setting worthy of Daphne du Maurier or Victoria Holt. A pair of inwardly tormented but exceptionally strong protagonists will keep readers enthralled. Silver creates a sensual mood as few others can and may well be setting the standard for the newly revitalized dark, nonparanormal Gothic.-Kristin Ramsdell, California State Univ.
