At the same time, the battle continues between Michael and his old nemesis, Patrick Walsh, while Nora struggles to win a battle of her own against an even older and more deadly enemy.
Maggie MacAuley: Her riot of fiery hair, an incredible measure of common sense, and a quick, eager smile would have melted the ice under Dunbar’s Mill in mid-January.
Summer Rankin: A mere wisp of a child, a tiny, fragile creature whose frailty appeared even more stark when reflected in the glow of her friend Maggie’s vibrancy.
Jonathan Stuart: The only schoolteacher who had ever stayed more than a few months. How or why he had ended up in a little mining town like Skingle Creek was anyone’s guess.
In the grand tradition of Jane Eyre, Wuthering Heights, and Rebecca, Winds of Graystone Manor joins the romance and nostalgia of rural life with the powerful, page-turning appeal of the Gothic. In Winds of Graystone Manor, readers meet:
Roman St. Clare- the Civil War photographer haunted by the slaying of his wife and unborn child. His relentless quest to find their murderer leads him to a remote area on Staten Island, where he must confront and be confronted by his own dark past.
Amanda (Andy) Fairchild- the petite, auburn-haired beauty who, as owner of Graystone Manor, a secluded resort hotel, is suspicious of the stranger who has arrived at a time of great mystery and intrigue on the Island.
Niles Rutherford- a brilliant young physician and Andy’s lifelong friend, who, as her self-proclaimed protector, guards her well and, in return, demands more than her loyalty.
Caught up in conflicting emotions and danger, these three find themselves ensnared in the age-old battle between Light and Darkness, fighting for their very lives - and their love.
