The good old Count Renaud is dead, and his will makes the
degenerate Rhodophil his heir, disinheriting his other son
Ferdinand, who has married against his father's wishes. Rhodophil
promises to share his new riches with his younger brother and his
wife Claudina, but Ferdinand hears a mysterious voice from beyond
the grave, warning him to flee his brother and his wife to save
himself from sin and death
Ferdinand obeys the supernatural warning and sets out to find
fortune and adventure. In the course of his quest he will encounter
a recluse in a ruined castle with a horrible secret, find himself
captured and imprisoned by the Turkish army, and encounter one of
Gothic literature's most depraved female characters, the monstrous
Fatima. And if he survives all these dangers, Ferdinand must return
to Renaud Castle to solve the mystery of the ghostly voice and
uncover the terrible truth about his wife and his brother
This edition includes the unabridged text of the four volume
1796 edition, with a new introduction and notes by Karen Morton,
and reproductions of illustrations from the 1796 and 1824
editions.
