WHO - OR WHAT HOLDS YOUNG FREYA CAPTIVE IN THIS ANCIENT CASTLE?

Vinterborg (Winter Castle) stands high on a perilous
cliff, overlooking a deep, swift-running and dangerous
fjord. According to legend, a Viking king had build it as
an abode for the Gods.

Now, it is a hotel where the orphaned American girl,
Freya Clinton, has come to work as hostess and tutor
to the little son of its mysterious English owner.

But there are sinister things about the place: madness,
hidden danger and a dark unspoken secret. Freya is
aware that some great force - human or supernatural -
is holding her prisoner for its own evil ends.

QUEEN-SIZE GOTHICS are a new idea. They offer the very best in novels of romantic suspense, by the top writers, greater in length and drama, richer in reading pleasure. Each book is guaranteed to be: "READING FIT FOR A QUEEN"

FIRST TIME IN PAPERBACK

Reading fit for a queen? How exactly does one go about judging that? I would have to believe that they would have to have had a queen on the payroll.

Okay, so this is quite possibly the greatest Women Running for Houses art I have ever seen. It is without a doubt my favorites cover. My copy of this book has nearly all of the signature cropped off. The name appears to start with an R or a B. But I have not been able to track down the artist. If you recognize the artist please let me know.
