Description
A hauntingly romantic Gothic mystery filled with secrets, danger, and forbidden connections from the New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth.
Nineteen-year-old Signa Farrow has spent her life surrounded by loss. Orphaned as an infant, she has been passed from one guardian to another, each more interested in her inheritance than her happiness—and each meeting a mysterious and untimely death. With nowhere else to turn, Signa is taken in by the Hawthorne family, an unusual and wealthy household residing at the elegant yet shadowy Thorn Grove estate.
At Thorn Grove, grief and secrets run deep. Family patriarch Elijah hides his sorrow over his wife Lillian’s death behind extravagant parties and indulgence. His son Percy struggles to protect the family’s fading status, while daughter Blythe is suffering from the same strange illness that claimed her mother’s life.
When Lillian’s ghost appears to Signa and reveals that her death was no accident but a carefully planned poisoning, Signa discovers that Blythe may be the next victim. Determined to uncover the truth, she forms an unlikely alliance with Death himself—the mysterious force she has spent her life fearing and resenting.
As Signa investigates the secrets surrounding Thorn Grove, she begins to realize that Death is not only a dangerous presence in her life but also a powerful connection unlike anything she has ever known. Together, they must uncover the killer before time runs out, while resisting a bond that could change everything.
