His grin broadened; teeth glimmering in the dim light of the moon. He approached, face terrifying and beautiful in the silver light.

Victoria had never wanted to spend the rest of her days as a domestic servant, she yearned for something more than what life had given her. As an orphan with only a strange white necklace as evidence she once had parents, she plans to discover the reason for her mother and father's deaths.
