Fleeing the scandal and disgrace of her late husband’s crimes and subsequent confiscation of everything she owned, Melanie Winthrop is shocked to discover she has inherited not only a fortune but a Southern plantation and mansion from a woman she scarcely knew. All is not good, however; many in the town are unhappy she is there. What is worse is the mansion harbors undreamed of dangers and secrets, including what can only be a phalanx of hostile spirits.
There are temporal dangers too; the unexpected arrival of Melanie’s bitter and estranged sister Michelle makes the situation unbearable, especially when she tries to strip Melanie of her fortune through blackmail. Things are only exacerbated by a near-fatal accident that might not have been accidental and the discovery of a dead body in the cellar - the body of a woman who had challenged Melanie’s right to the inheritance.
Investigating her inheritance, Melanie realizes there have been blatant thefts against the estate and the distinct possibility that her benefactor was murdered in an attempt to hide them. Then the murderer comes after her, and Melanie has to accept that there is no one on this earth who can save her.
