Synopsis ~

Amelia could never have known that the necklace - the delicate filigree butterflies of dead black iron - would become the yoke that could drag her down to her death. Amelia Harrach lived with a name blackened by scandal. They said her grandmother’s marriage to a captive Hessian officer during the American Revolution had been false. Moreover, they said Amelia’s father was a bastard. Then came the news that her grandfather was indeed alive, and ready to acknowledge Amelia’s legitimacy, and make her heiress to a great fortune in Germany. And so began a journey into horror and evil that would endanger Amelia and her fortune. Suddenly she was trapped in a world of drugs and nightmares. But the treacherous way to freedom lay ahead - and so did love.
