Scarlet - Softcover

On a fateful winter's day in 1937, 18-year-old Cassie Thornton boards the Queen Mary and sets sail for England. Her mission: to find the mysterious Scarlet Pengally, the mother who abandoned her many years ago.

Her search leads to the West Country, to the dark, forbidding edifice of Greystone House, where Scarlet was born, home to generations of Pengallys. Yet it is also home to an unspoken dread, epicenter of a haunting tragedy - a desperate love and dark vengeance that has plagued the family for generations.

The key to it all is Scarlet. And Cassie must find her - for now the family's curse is threatening her own young life...
