Vanessa Ashley felt herself qualified for a position as governess, until
offered the position at Falconbridge Hall. Left penniless after the
deaths of her artist father and suffragette mother, Vanessa Ashley draws
on her knowledge of art, politics, and history to gain employment as a
governess. She discovers that Julian, Lord Falconbridge, requires a
governess for his ten-year-old daughter Blyth at Falconbridge Hall, in
the countryside outside London. Lord Falconbridge is a scientist and
dedicated lepidopterist who is about to embark on an extended expedition
to the Amazon. An enigmatic man, he takes a keen interest in his
daughter's education. As she prepares her young charge, Vanessa finds
the girl detached and aloof. As Vanessa learns more about Falconbridge
Hall, more questions arise. Why doesn't Blythe feel safe in her own
home? Why is the death of her mother, once famed society beauty Clara,
never spoken of? And why did the former governess leave so suddenly
without giving notice?
