Ernestine is cursed. At least, that is what some whisper about her. Others say she is possessed by the devil. Doctors come and go and yet no one can determine what is wrong with the young noblewoman. France 1815; Ernestine Emilie Prondre de Guermantes should have had it all. The French Revolution had ended. Her family not only survived but maintained their chateau and their fortunes as well.
