Description
“I will tell you how it happened that autumn, that year. I will begin by revealing the greatest secret of all. I will confess the worst thing of all: all I wanted was for her to stop screaming.” It is autumn 1710, and the plague spreads its black wings over Stockholm. After their mother’s death, Magdalena and her younger sister are forced to leave the city because of the dreaded disease. They travel to Black Lake Castle to stay with an aunt they have never seen. The castle is beautiful, but its rooms stand empty and there are few servants. This is only the beginning, as further mysteries soon emerge. Why does Magdalena feel that her aunt Catherine hates her? Who is the frightening priest who comes to the castle every week? And why is Magdalena forbidden to meet or even speak about Catherine’s stepson? This Czech-language Young Adult novel is a beautiful and frightening story of forbidden love and dark secrets from the past.
