In the first of a brand-new series set in Victorian England, a young woman returns home from India after the death of her family to discover her identity and inheritance are challenged by the man who holds her future in his hands.
Rebecca Ravenshaw, daughter of missionaries, spent most of her life in India. Following the death of her family in the Indian Mutiny, Rebecca returns to claim her family estate in Hampshire, England. Upon her return people are surprised to see her…and highly suspicious. Less than a year earlier, an imposter had arrived with an Indian servant and assumed not only Rebecca’s name but her home and incomes.

Although Sandra Byrd is known primarily as an author of Inspirational Romances and I’m not in the least religious, I’m not averse to an Inspy when there’s a good story and the religious element isn’t too prominent. In any case, I’ve got a soft spot for a good gothic romance and the premise of Mist of Midnight sounded interesting. Rebecca Ravenshaw is the daughter of missionaries who were killed in the Indian Mutiny. She was saved by the selfless actions of one of their household servants and eventually makes her way back to England with the intention of settling at her family home, Headbourne House in Hampshire – only to be informed that Rebecca Ravenshaw is recently deceased and now lies buried near the chapel on the estate.
