What to expect
A LIFE IN LIMBO. A SIN SO SWEET. AN IMMACULATE DECEPTION.
I feel the bond that has been created between me and him - this one made of shadows, the one who pulses in my depths and who promises to fulfil my yearning...
Pernambuco, Brazil, 1877. Raised in a deeply religious household, Madalena knows Dante's Inferno by heart and fears her mother's reaction as much as she fears God. When she falls pregnant with a child conceived in sin, her mother issues a threat: marry or surrender the baby.
Confident that the father, the dashing Leandro Neves, will propose, Madalena sets off to his sprawling estate. After a storm wrecks her carriage, she awakens in Leandro's crumbling mansion, tended to by the magnetic Doctor Lobo. Leandro is there... but he is no longer the charming poet she knew. He's silent. Obsessed. Always watching.
Strange perfume haunts a locked room. Pages vanish from books. Jewels lie untouched in a forgotten wardrobe. And mirrors begin disappearing after Madalena sees something - or someone - ghastly in the reflection.
Leandro is unravelling. Doctor Lobo may be hiding something even darker. Trapped in a decaying house of secrets, Madalena must uncover the truth before the men around her destroy her, and before the hell she fears becomes the one she's living in...
