According to the legend, six novices living in a Cornish convent strayed from their vows and were turned to stone. The seventh faced quite a different fate. Years later when the convent became the family mansion of the St. Larnston family, fate beckoned to another young virgin.
Kerensa Carlee was only a cottage girl, but she possessed great ambition and greater beauty -- and she knew how to use them both. Working in the legend-haunted mansion as a lady's maid, Kerensa began her perilous journey into womanhood. She stirred old memories and mysteries, and brought to that quiet corner of Victorian Cornwall moonlight madness and an ancient vengeance . . . .

This book contains the complete text of the original hardcover edition. Copyright 1965. Published by Fawcett Crest. 287 pages.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked reading a book from Victoria Holt where the main character was not gentry, but of the lower-class. It is was a good read.
