American divorcee April Waverly learns she is the heir chosen to inherit Oakton, Sir Drew Ramsey's home farm. Elderly, crippled, sinister Drew promised to repay her for her carer role in his last few years. He loved two things only in this world: his Siamese cat, currently Nala, ancient and sharp-clawed; and Oakton.  The Ramseys received Oakton as a reward from the Conqueror through marriage to its heiress, and Drew would do whatever was necessary to keep Oakton in the Ramsey family. He was the last Ramsey, and he was prepared to solve this problem.
April agrees to the obligations to inherit Oakton, for in addition to its worth, she loves the farm and Wiltshire. Ben Muir, Drew's unctuous lawyer and heir to the rest of Drew's large fortune, has control of Oakton and her until she actually inherits after Ostara. He wants her to inherit Oakton, for reasons she cannot discern. He knows too much about Oakton and her, and she begins to stand up for herself against him. The Spring equinox festival of the druids is the occasion for her to become Mistress of Oakton.
A local sheepherder mentions the curse on the heir of Oakton to her, but laughs it off, as she is not a Ramsey. A bell that summons and repels a spirit monster goes missing, to the frenzy of the Oakton Druid cult. April hears footsteps following her around the Lodge at Oakton and items are displayed for her to find. Sheep are killed by a mysterious predator, and the guard llama is constantly alert. She finds a dead man floating in a bog at Oakton. She is falling in love with the handsome local vet who cares for the farm's animals, and thinks her feelings might be returned. April wants Oakton, not just the land and its value, but the home and future it promises her.
Ostara nears, and April must face the forces that want her body and soul, and hope for help from those who stand against the evil that haunts Oakton.

"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?
