Are you getting the gist yet?
The Prescotts have built up an unsettling reputation. Where one went, Death would soon follow, and yet each death seemed to have, if not a cloud of mystery, then a shocking twist that would arise. It led to people whispering rumours and misguided explanations as to why the Prescotts always seemed to be within Death's grasp. And while all these words have piled together into a woven basket of lies and assumptions, they knew of one thing: another death was bound to happen in ways just as enigmatic as the others.
That was why, when the youngest Prescott heiress is accused of murder, only one thing came as a surprise: a suspect named so early into the investigation.
But that was another thing: Clara Prescott is innocent. Determined to clear her name, she flees the obscurity of Edinbury Hall in search for her saving grace; the thing would release her from the defamatory accusations piling against her.
But along the way, secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and Clara must learn to live with the consequences.
