Blood Moon

Jeannie's half-sister, Clare, has died in what Jeannie feels are suspicious circumstances. Under the assumed identity of governess to Clare's young daughter, Varda, she has come to the island of Langdon's Purlieu to investigate for herself. Once in the house, she cannot understand why the servants seem perpetually frightened. 'Please, miss!' the maid begs her. 'Leave this place! Leave before the blood moon rises over the sea!' Can Jeannie unravel the secrets of the old house, or will she die in the attempt?
