Lydia Sinclair was just seventeen when she arrived on her husband’s estate in the Andes, and from the first day she felt that she belonged there.

Keepers of the House
tells the story of a young English woman newly married to a sugar planter. As her husband, the last of the Beltran family line, retreats into himself, Lydia finds solace in the stories of Benito, the family’s oldest retainer. Unearthing the Beltran family’s tragic history, she weaves together a rich gothic tapestry in which the fantastic legends of the past are intertwined with the present.
