Determined to uncover the truth about her German ancestors, Kira travels to the small coastal town of Süderwiek. There she meets Noah, a charming local who helps her investigate the castle's past.

I am not going to trash this story, mainly because it does not deserve such treatment. It is fairly well written and I suspect my main problem is a clash of cultures. Please read the story for yourself and make your own decisions. You may actually love it.
