"The lowly maid working for the new owners of the Von Cernogratz castle surprises and shocks the Baron and Baroness with a story of the castle's legend and her unknown ties to the castle." (Publisher's blurb). There is a curse that has the death of members of the Cernogratz family--and only them--anmounced by howling wolves.
