Description
Karen Marie Moning, the #1 New York Times bestselling author, returns with a spellbinding new series filled with mystery, intrigue, and seductive allure. In this captivating tale, a young woman moves to Divinity, Louisiana, to claim an unexpected inheritance—a vast fortune and a mysterious Gothic mansion filled with dark secrets.
Zo Grey is still grieving the sudden loss of her mother when she receives an unexpected call from a lawyer in Divinity. A distant relative has left her a staggering inheritance, but the full details can only be discussed in person. With no money, no family, and nowhere else to turn, Zo travels to Divinity, where she learns she is the sole heir to a massive estate and an eerie mansion perched on the highest point of Watch Hill. The catch? She must live in the house—completely alone—for three years before she can claim her fortune.
Determined to seize this rare chance at a new beginning, Zo pushes aside her unease about the ominous mansion and the unusual terms of her inheritance. From the moment she arrives, unsettling mysteries surround her. A red-eyed Stygian owl seems to watch her every move, and the strikingly handsome Scottish groundskeeper exudes an air of intrigue. As she explores her new home, she uncovers eerie anomalies—doors that lead nowhere, passageways that refuse to open, and a turret with no visible entrance. Even the townspeople seem oddly enigmatic, as if they know more than they are willing to reveal.
What Zo has yet to discover is that her past is inextricably tied to this very house. Dormant powers lie within her, waiting to awaken, but unlocking them means confronting forces far darker than she can imagine. If she fails, she risks losing herself to the same sinister fate that haunts the mansion’s history.
“A witchy, sexy read that made me sleep with the lights on…Karen Marie Moning at her best!”
—Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author
