And the old house on the estate adjoining hers is opened up again when the deceased owner's son retires from the military. Attracted both to her veteran neighbor and the castle's mysterious young owner, Sophia begins discovering that reality is much stranger than she realized.
With evidence of the supernatural seductively surrounding her, she learns that love and desire are powerful, even Divine forces that can't just be played with, unless she wants to risk paying the ultimate price.
