Love conquers all: Time, adversity, Distance, death... But can it take on three overzealous, lethal sisters? Prudence, the beautiful daughter of a revered New Orleans family, found true love in the form of Captain Atticus Bainbridge. In celebration of their upcoming marriage, he built her a magnificent mansion in the bayou named RavensManor, and asked Prudence to wait there for him as he set sail on one last voyage. However, Prudence’s social-climbing father and marriage-loathing sisters plotted against them, and lied to Prudence, telling her that her beloved captain was lost at sea. Grieving and desperate, Prudence retreated to the attic of the home her beloved had built, alone except for the company of a single candle in the window. When the captain unexpectedly returned, the three sisters intercepted him on his way to rescue his true love, and committed the ultimate evil. Not satisfied with destroying the young couple’s happiness, they placed a curse on every future RavensManor marriage, dooming any true love kindled within its walls to end in the groom’s death. Generations later, the RavensManor curse has held true: every time a couple fell in love, the bridegroom has died, always at the hands of the vicious and merciless ghost sisters. Will Prudence ever be reunited with her one true love? Will her descendant, Ruby, manage to break the curse? Will you dare to enter... RavensManor.
A note on the historical inspirations: New Orleans has a reputation as being the most-haunted city in America, with dark surprises lying in wait behind the elegant wrought iron that shields gardens and courtyards, and particularly within the walls of the magnificent cemeteries known as the “Cities of the Dead.” It seems that almost every New Orleans location has a tale behind it, often laced with intrigue, legends, voodoo and mystery; taking inspiration from a myriad of tales, myths, local lore and historical fact, RavensManor came to life as a collage of a city that never fails to fascinate, frighten and delight every one of us. |
