The Hetfield family had secrets-deep, dark secrets-and Morwenna had always suspected as much. But now, after hearing Stuart speak, she realized that these secrets were far more intricate than she had ever imagined.

Yara wasn't really his youngest aunt at all.

How did his real youngest aunt, who tormented Stuart so badly, die? And how was it possible for her to keep on hurting him for years?

What about Stuart's parents?

Morwenna's mind was a whirlwind of confusion, and she found herself unable to ask any more questions.
