My life didn’t turn out how I envisioned it, but looking back, I can’t say I regret it either, and I’ll explain the reason, or reasons, for that in my story. It all went wrong when I was 17 years old. However, it wasn’t all a picnic up to that point, either. Well, nearly 19 years later, and I can tell you it’s true what they say: You learn by your mistakes, and boy, I made a lot of them.

In July 1895, Suzanne Willis travels to High Coulston to visit her old school roommate, Lady Anna Corwin, and her brother, Edwin, Earl of Muntglare. Suzanne and Lady Anna had been very close at school and now, three years later, that intimate relationship is renewed. In the midst of their visit, the neighbouring estate is purchased by the handsome young Marquess Ravensbrook. He seems a pleasant enough chap, though a strange medical condition making him extremely sensitive to sunlight apparently condemns him to a nocturnal existence. Then Lady Anna's health begins to fail. She is plagued by strange, erotic dreams, with Lord Ravensbrook playing a leading role.
