When disgraced aristocrat Zara Aguirre barely escapes with her life from her home world, she hopes that she's found safety on the planet Kernow. She wants nothing more than to be left in peace, hidden away in a remote town on the wild and untamed western coast.
But living on the mysterious Duke Tremayne's estate, she finds herself drawn deeper and deeper into his world, despite all her fears. What secret is he hiding in Cardu, his dark fortress that stands sentinel above the town of Stormhaven?
And is the sinister conspiracy that murdered her family a threat to this world as well? Zara must reveal her family Name and risk her own life to help expose the plot... or the Duke, and this whole planet, will fall.
"A delicious mix of the Brontë sisters, murder mystery, sf drama, space opera, and just general romance and derring-do. Hit the mark on every point."
