The tragic tale of a 300-year old family whose members are haunted by an age-old curse carried through the centuries by an ancient lineage of women. PHANTOM'S CHILD speaks from the depths of Scotland's lost past. From a hidden corner of northeast Scotland -- once the domain of Pictish kings -- comes the voice of Lillias, whose legendary form as the Greene Ladye still haunts the halls and great staircases of ancient houses. She reveals a slice of Aberdeenshire's unwritten history in ruinous castles and forgotten towers where her descendants have borne their unfotunate children, and where, unless Fate's unkind hand can be stayed, they may be doomed forever to relive her story.
