Tamsin’s parents died when she was very young in an unexplainable accident, and she was raised by her uncle and aunt in their ancestral home. She felt the presence of her mother and imagined that her parents were watching over her. But often an eeriness would overcome her and make her feel uneasy. When Otto Eckhardt tries to court her she rejects him. He becomes violent and threatens her. Then her home is burned to the ground and her dear uncle and aunt perish in the blaze. Who did this?  Was it Eckhardt or some other evil?
