What is happening in the chateau on the hill? The villagers whispered as the count buried another wife. Each countess had met a tragic end and the count was alone again. But not for long.
Dazzled by his interest in her, Marie feels strangely drawn to the count and his wealth. But what of the family curse in the chateau up on the hill? Four wives, all dead. Was there something evil there? Marie was sure it was only gossip. It was his servant Martel with his sly ways that she didn't trust. And it was so alluring, the thought of being a countess and having everything. It would solve all their problems.
But Marie's troubles were only beginning.
