Mary Wilcox, the perceptive governess with a knack for untangling family secrets, finds herself in a new role amidst the haunting beauty of the Monterey Peninsula.

Tasked with the care of a once-renowned artist’s enigmatic daughter in their cliffside mansion, Mary quickly learns that her charge is no ordinary child.

When the artist vanishes, Mary is thrust into a labyrinth of art and illusion.

Was it an abduction? A murder?

With each step further into the mystery, she risks losing her own sense of self, as she risks losing her grip on reality....
