"Pippa was determined to discover the truth when she learned that her beautiful sister Francine had been murdered and was the centre of a scandalous cause celebre in the far-off country to which she had eloped with her mysterious lover. The sisters had been devoted to each other and had lived happily with their unconventional parents until the latter's death, when they had passed into the care of their puritanical grandfather whose tyranny they found intolerable. Francine escaped, only to meet her mysterious end, and it seemed to Pippa that she herself was doomed. Then she met the magnetic, inscrutable Conrad - another such as Francine's lover.
Desperate, suspected of murder, she found herself in acute danger and when and unexpected opportunity to escape came to her she took it and set out on her hazardous voyage of discovery.
The quest for the truth in an unknown country, which she realised was fraught with danger, seemed hopeless but in time she found her way into the schloss where she believed she might find the solution she sought.
Pippa's story passes from the conventional countryside of Victorian England to a mid-European state with its grey stone fairytale castles, redolent pine forests and dangerous intrigues; and it is there that she makes some startling discoveries as she advances deeper and deeper into danger."
