Selbury Quade, a perfect and peaceful six-
teenth-century estate, was built on blood and
cruelty by the ruthless Dame Margery Quade.
Since then, her relentless spirit has hovered
possessively over succeeding generations of
Quades, only to be reborn in her descendant
Imogen Quade. Imogen, an only child whose
parents are halfheartedly grooming her to
assume ownership of the estate one day,
wants nothing more than to possess Selbury.
Only her governess, Miss Annette Duval,
senses the depths of Imogen s obsession
with Selbury. And when a male heir,
Nicholas Quade, is born against all expecta-
tions, not even Miss Duval can bring herself
to believe the lengths to which Imogen, now
a lovely young woman making her debut,
will go to see that Selbury will pass to her
hands alone.
Nicholas Quade, cheated of his inheri-
tance, given up for dead by his heartbroken
father, will follow a very different path until
he sets foot in Selbury again. In the mean-
while, Imogen schemes and destroys to
achieve her heart s single desire, scorning
the love that comes her way, until she learns
that she needs her brother Nicholas after all.
The intertwined fates of Imogen, her
brother Nicholas, and Annette Duval
stretch from Victorian England--the Lon-
don of glittering ballrooms and the dark
alleys of the East End--to the young colony
of Australia, half a world away. The Quade
