Pretty castle maids go missing leaving behind collections of blood-soaked linens.Make me perfect.As years pass, all of S rv r town knows that the castle overlooking their homes is a place that swallows the lives of young women.Even the beautiful Anna knows that, but she has as secret and a deep need to find out the truth.
