SYNOPSIS: Suewellyn was spirited and adventurous, a true Mateland of Mateland Castle, even though she was not acknowledged as such; and when she was alone, penniless, having lost all that she loved, temptation came to her, and it was irresistible. From her early days in the chilling atmosphere of her foster parents' home, the castle had enchanted her. Those days had been brightened by the visits of the mysterious Miss Anabel until Suewellyn was finally whisked away to a new life. Anabel herself was caught up with the inhabitants of the castle until that day when her lover committed murder for her sake and she was forced to run away with him. On the volcanic island which was dominated by the Grumbling Giant they all found a certain refuge from the outside world, but the island was inhabited by superstitious people who feared the great mountain and worshipped it. Yet they were happy until Susannah's arrival. Susannah was a Mateland and where Susannah was there was disruption. She possessed an indefinable power which had its effect on all who came near her. Disaster struck, and with it came temptation. Suewellyn assumed the mask of the enchantress. At first it seemed simple. Everything fell into place. She had found a way out of her unhappiness, and, fraught with danger though it was, it brought a new zest for living. She did not realize that in taking on the role of the Enchantress she was going to be implicated in a story of intrigue and murder and that there would be two men to whom she would have to answer. Esmond was dead, but Garth and Malcolm lived, and it was when she came face to face with these two that Suewellyn realized how dangerous it had been to look for a new way of life in the role of another woman.
