A SPELLBOUNDING STORY OF MODERN ROMANCE AND ANCIENT ENCHANTMENT-AND A LEGACY OF LOVE THAT WOULD NOT DIE... THERE WAS ONLY ONE PART OF GILLY RAMSEY'S LONELY CHILDHOOD THAT WAS MAGICAL-THE VISITS FROM HER GODMOTHER, GEILIS SAXON, AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN WITH SPECIAL POWERS. WHE GEILIS DIED SUDDENLY, THE GROWN UP GILLY INHERITED THORNYHOLD, GEILS;S CHARMING COTAGE IN WILTSHIRE, AND WENT THERE TO LIVE IN THE LOVELY ENGLISH COUNTRYSIDE. BUT NOTHING HAD PREPARED GILLY FOR THE STRANGE ENCHANTMENT SHE WAS ABOUT TO DISCOVER-SINISTER NEIGHBORS, MESSAGES FROM BEYOND THE GRAV, AND EVEN THE WHISPER OF LOVE. JUST AS GULLY BEGAN TO RETURN THE LOVE OF AN ATTRACTIVE STRANGER, SURROUNDING THORNYHOLD TURNED ALL TOO REAL AND FAR TOO DANGEROUS.
