They buried her in silence.
But Ashbourne Keep never forgot.
When travellers enter the ruined castle overlooking the storm-lashed sea, they are warned not to linger in the west gallery after dark. There, beneath layers of shadow and candlelight, hangs the portrait of Lady Seraphine Laurent — a noblewoman of rare beauty, fierce intelligence and tragic fate.
For centuries, whispers have haunted the halls of Ashbourne Keep. Servants vanished. Lords died in terror. Visitors fled after hearing footsteps in empty corridors and a woman’s voice echoing through the night.
Some say Seraphine was betrayed by the man she married.
Others believe her restless spirit still searches for the truth buried within the castle walls.
But everyone agrees on one thing:
The woman in the portrait is watching.
Rich with gothic atmosphere, mystery, and haunting elegance, The Lady of Black Velvet is a chilling tale of betrayal, vengeance and the enduring power of a woman who refused to be forgotten.
