This is a gothic romance novel about Nicoletta, an orphan from a small village with a special gift for healing and knowing when someone needs her. Because of her "gift" the villagers try to hide and protect her from outsiders because they are afraid that she will be burned as a witch. The village owes fealty to the nearby Don Scaretti who resides in the mansion nicknamed by the locals as the Palazzo della Morte (Palace of Death). Nicoletta's mother was one of the women who died there under mysterious circumstances. All of the wives of all of the Scarletti men have died and the Scarletti family is said to be under a curse. Unfortunately for Nicoletta, Don Giovanni Scarletti has noticed her in spite of the villagers' efforts to keep her hidden and he invokes his rights of choosing a bride from the maidens who reside on his land. Will Nicoletta survive the Scarletti family curse? This book was a page turner.
