Jani, the strange and lovely heroine, has been brought up in a remote region of the Himalayas in Tibet by a runaway English soldier. Both Jani's past and that of her soldier protector are shrouded in a mystery that grows ever deeper for Jani when the foreign demon on a black horse comes from the south to take her away to a new and frightening world - a London orphanage. Later, when she moves on and finds the Woman in Red, Jani becomes one of the family in a Hampshire household. And it is here that her past is gradually uncovered. She becomes locked in a macabre struggle, long prophesied by the High Lama of her Tibetan youth, against the strange and terrifying powers of the Silver Man. Madeleine Brent's story of love and loyalty, of mystery and danger, moves on to a startling climax back amid the Himalayas where it all began as Jani's secret is unravelled.

A lovely mix of intrigue, occult and independent female characters made Merlin's Keep as enjoyable as all other Madeline Brent books (pseudonym of Peter O'Donnell). This could also be considered a historical romance although that part of the plot is not strong enough to overcome the overall storyline of a young woman discovering the truth of her origins in the early 20th century. The villain in this work is an evil gray man whose presence could leave you wondering who might play him on film if this book were turned into a screenplay. I enjoyed it and highly recommend it to others looking for richly detailed globe spanning mystery.
