When Buckler heads out to Luckstein Castle in Austria to free the unfortunate Harnwood, great perils await him. And his opponent turns out to be none other than the beautiful but deadly Countess. Her viperous charms may prove too much for Buckler and a trap is set. Only one question remains: is the Countess or the heroic Buckler going to be caught?
The Author: Alfred Edward Wooley Mason was born in 1865. He was educated at Dulwich College before being sent up to Oxford University.
