About this book

After Amelia Harveston loses her mother under tragic circumstances, she fears she would be forced into poverty and the position of a desperate woman. Luckily, some distant relatives step forward and invite her to come and live with them at the plantation home built by her grandfather. She dreams happily of the warm family embrace that will soon keep her loved and protected. But the reality is actually a threatening parody of the loving family image her cousins present to the outside world. What is the purpose of the cruel games they play with one another? What is the root of their hatred toward their own flesh and blood? Young and beautiful, innocent and alone, Amelia soon finds herself the main target of their loathsome behavior, with not a soul to confide in. There has to be someone she can trust, as the ""accidents"" that plague her throughout the plantation grow more and more alarming. She must find an ally who can help her escape the dangerous situation...or prepare to die!
