Centuries of tradition are coming to an end at St Cordula's Catholic boarding school. Deputy Head, Fiona Fox, is about to preside over a controversial move to save it from ruin.
Legend has it that the ghost of fifteenth-century nun, Sister Matilda, will keep St Cordula's safe. But only as long as the words 'GOD FORGIVE ME', scrawled by Matilda on a chapel staircase wall before she fell to her death, are repainted every year. The words have only been allowed to fade once, in 2002. Then, fits of vertigo spread through the pupils, and a second girl fell to her death on the night stairs.
Only three people know the truth of what happened on the night of the tragedy. Now the vertigo is back, and unless Fiona can stem the outbreak, St. Cordula's darkest secret could claim another girl's life...
