Beware the curse composed in verse! The night is cold and clear and starry. Don't walk in the woods, or you'll be sorry. ESPECIALLY if you happen to be the last heir of the Hammands! The "super-sensitive" Miss Luna Bartendale, psychic investigator extraordinaire, has had success in the past laying family curses, but the Monster of Hammand will prove harder than any challenge she has faced before. And Dannow Old Manor is home to more than one secret, with a trail that leads from its Hidden Room to the ancient barrow of a Saxon chieftain and back again -- and from a family legacy birthed in the Bronze Age to the Twilight of the Gods!
