Victoria Holt

Kerensa Carlee, a Cornish village girl, and Mellyora Martin, daughter of the local pastor, grew up like sisters, but when the time came to earn their own living, it was Kerensa who became mistress of the great house.

The Legend of the Seventh Virgin

According to the legend, six novices living in a Cornish convent strayed from their vows and were turned to stone. The seventh faced quite a different fate. Years later when the convent became the family mansion of the St. Larnston family, fate beckoned to another young virgin. Kerensa Carlee was only a cottage girl, but she possessed great ambition and greater beauty -- and she knew how to use them both. Working in the legend-haunted mansion as a lady's maid, Kerensa began her perilous journey into womanhood. She stirred old memories and mysteries, and brought to that quiet corner of Victorian Cornwall moonlight madness and an ancient vengeance . . . .
