At the edge of the town, the crumbling shell of a once-splendid manor sits like a tombstone, untouched and unloved. The townsfolk dare not touch it, and those who come too close are said to disappear... At a very young age, Mary Nightingale busies herself with something the religious and superstitious Bridgelyn Town frowns upon: studies about the unknown--studies about specters, daemons, and other abstracts which exist far beyond humans. Her refusal to adhere to local beliefs has been a gamble for her identity and safety. Some may call her journey to the ruins fate; some may call it a most terrifying misfortune. After all, the dirty secret hiding in the ruins--they who have been lurking under everyone's noses... ... may very well want to remain a secret! (Highest Rank: #73 in Paranormal)
