THE MASTER OF SEACLIFF Max Pierce
The year is 1899, orphaned after the death of his parents, young Andrew Wyndham dreams of life as an artist. He has the talent but lacks the resources, so becomes a tutor to the son of a wealthy patron of the arts at an estate called Seacliffe. But danger lurks everywhere and nothing is quite as easy as it seems. Seacliff: A dark and brooding cliff-top mansion enshrouded in near-eternal fog, dark mystery, and suspicion — perhaps a reflection of the house’s master. An imposing Blackbeard of a man, Duncan Stewart is both feared and admired by his business associates as well as the people he calls friends. And his home, in which young Andrew must now reside, holds terrible secrets, secrets that could destroy everyone within its walls.
