Amidst the forests and mountains of a remote part of Austria stands Scholoss Riedenstein, a castle inhabited from centuries by ghosts, the echoes of terrible events, and by the von Trauenberg family. Into this strange environment comes Liesel, an innocent girl whose widowed mother has married Count Franz von Trauenberg. Liesel is caught between the breathtaking beauty of the castle, its ancient turrets surrounded by snow capped peaks, and the knowledge that the von Traudnbergs have been cursed by a strain of unpredictable violence.
