Description

After her father’s death, Deidre Hart learns that she has inherited Hart Croft, a small, dilapidated farm house on a remote Scottish island. When clearing out his wardrobe she discovers an old battered briefcase filled with hand drawn maps and sketches drawn on the back of old letters from Inverhall Lunatic Asylum dated from the 1920’s. The briefcase also contains a hint, a clue to a mystery and she wonders why her father had never told her of the madness and insanity that lurked in her family history, nor of the secret hidden in the old farm house on the other side of the world.
Grief stricken and intrigued, Deidre decides to investigate her family history and books a room at Stayne House on the Shetland Islands. On her arrival she meets Dot and Mavis, the elderly owners of Stayne House, who tell her the story of the Hart’s who’d once lived in Erdin Valley, isolated and remote on the other side of the isle, and the madness that befell her great-uncle early in the last century. They advise her to stay away from Hart Croft, warning her about the curse that has tormented the inhabitants of Erdin Valley through the generations.
But when Deidre meets Dylan, an Irish carpenter restoring an old croft on the island, they fall in love. But will Dylan’s love be enough to save Deidre from her family’s history and the curse of Erdin Valley?
