The hesitant Lady Moray, young Abigail Glenn, is no longer a captive at Castle Moray, but neither her troubles nor her doubt are left behind. The attack on Lord Moray and a private meeting with Lady Stewart leads to more uncertainty, and more than one occupant of the castle desperately wishes for her to stay. That other occupant has less earthly dealings in mind, and though Lord Moray's strong arms bring her comfort she wonders if he can provide her with safety against someone who is not among the living.
