Murmurs of Evil

The Possession Chronicles #2

Beschreibung

Thrust into a household infested with demons, Magdalene must cling to her faith-and safeguard her heart-to overcome the temptations waiting to snare her. Hired to be a companion to Mrs. Melling, a woman who still mourns the death of her daughter, Magdalene enters Seacliff Cottage. Besides finding the house filled with vile spirits, Magdalene is at odds with an unearthly attraction to Alexander Melling-her employer's bachelor son. Magdalene soon befriends a young Italian deacon, Claudio De Fiore. Together they try to solve the puzzle surrounding the demonic activities within the house. Meanwhile Douglas Campbell-the Scottish nephew of the coachman for the Mellings-arrives at the cottage. Balancing her growing love for Douglas and the memory of her haunting weekend with Alexander, the demons attempt to claim Magdalene. Can Douglas and Magdalene's romance survive the murmurs of evil, or will past secrets destroy their lives as well? The bonus short story "The Portrait of Eliza Melling" is included at the end of this new edition.
