English Summary/英文概要： Hannah Rose Brown lives with her mother, Roz. Her father Robert disappeared soon after she was born, and she and her mother are all alone in the world. One day a letter arrives, addressed to the Viscountess of Fairknowe. Hannah thinks it’s a hilarious mistake but her mother confesses that Hannah’s father was the Viscount of Fairknowe, and the heir to Wintersloe Castle in Scotland.
The letter is from Hannah’s great-grandmother – someone she never knew existed – begging Hannah and her mother to come to Scotland. At first Roz refuses but Hannah is determined to go, her curiosity aroused by the letter’s reference to a curse.
Once they arrive at the Wintersloe Castle, strange things begin to happen. A toad coughs up a round stone with a hole worn through the middle. She hears a dog howling at night – yet there is no dog at Wintersloe Castle. Shadows seem to stalk her. One stormy day, the toad shows her the way to her father’s old tower room – and Hannah discovers the history of the curse of Wintersloe Castle, which has blighted the family and the house for centuries.
Hannah is determined to break the curse, but to do so she must face all sorts of dangers, including being hunted by the evil queen of the Otherworld and being accused of being a witch…
