Haunted by her mother's infidelity, her father's death and her brother's desertion, Victoria di Loredani marries the Conte Berenza, who appears to offer her all she has ever wanted. But when her affections are transferred to a younger man, sexual jealousy and lust drive her slowly insane. As she gradually takes ever more drastic (and brutal) measures to secure the object of her affections, she is aided by the mysterious Zofloya - a Moor with apparently supernatural abilities, who is not all he seems...

Available in its original, unabridged form for the first time on Kindle, Charlotte Dacre's classic Gothic romance novel still has the capacity to shock.

This edition contains a concise introduction to the novel's themes and background.
