Now: When Paige returns to her ancestral family home, Woodham Hall, she's nursing an unbearable heartbreak. The man she'd thought she loved has told her the most terrible lie, one she feels she'll never recover from. The only thing that seems to be able to hold her interest is the story of a poisoning that once supposedly happened in the house - depicted in brutal detail in a painting by an unknown artist. 1672: Jeanne's life at Woodham Hall is happy. Admittedly her brother-in-law - the lord of the manor - is unfaithful to her sister, causing terrible discord in the house. But Jeanne adores her sister, and her niece, Helene, and even though her growing feelings for another member of the household are illicit, they are bringing her great joy. That is, until Sir Robert chooses to move his mistress in. Jeanne and her sister are to be banished to a French abbey to live out their days.
