      Egy őrült szerelem, amit megrázó csalódás követ. Egy kapcsolat, ami egy életre szól, és még annál is tovább. Bosszú, aminek még a halál sem állhatja útját. Barnabas Collinst, a New England-i hajómágnás család ifjú örökösét megbabonázza Angelique, a Martinique szigetéről érkező szolgáló egzotikus szépsége. Arra azonban, hogy a lány milyen sötét hatalmak szövetségese, csak akkor jön rá, amikor már késő: eljegyez valaki mást, Angelique pedig olyan bosszút esküszik ellene, ami a síron túl is üldözni fogja. Lara Parker a hetvenes évek kultikus sorozatában, a Dark Shadowsban maga játszotta Angelique szerepét. A színésznő a sorozat eredeti forgatókönyvét feldolgozva írta meg az Éjsötét árnyék trilógiát. A történet filmváltozata 2012 májusában kerül a mozikba Tim Burton rendezésében, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer és Helena Bonham Carter főszereplésével.
