Dragonwyck

It was on an afternoon in May 1844 when the letter came from Dragonwyck.
Tired of life on her father's farm in Connecticut, Miranda Wells happily accepts
the invitation to the luxurious estate of her distant relative, the dashing and
mysterious Nicholas Van Ryn.

Introduced to a way of life she has only ever dreamed of, the innocent farm girl
becomes a great lady. But soon the dark secrets of Dragonwyck begin to unfold.

A classic gothic romance set against a richly detailed historical backdrop,
Dragonwyck is Anya Seton's bestselling second novel. First published in 1944,
it was adapted for cinema in 1946 starring Gene Tierney and Vincent Price.
