Victoria Winters:  My name is Victoria Winters . A brilliant afternoon sun brightens the walls of Collinwood , and all is silent except for the cries of the gulls that circle overhead , and the buzz of the bees in meadows . But not far from the great house , there is one that can not know the sunlight . Only the darkness of a prison cell in which she is to die . There is _ one _ who would save her , but he is haunted by fear . Fear that her salvation would mean his own death .
