The day Anne Tinning turns seventeen,
birds fall from the sky. But that's hardly the most upsetting news. She's being
dismissed from the home she's served at since she was a child, and shipped off
to become the newly hired parlor maid for a place she's never heard of. And
when she sees the run-down, isolated house, she instantly knows why:
There's something wrong with Rosewood
Manor.
Staffed with only three other servants,
all gripped by icy silence and inexplicable bruises, and inhabited by a young
master who is as cold as the place itself, the house is shrouded in neglect and
thick with fear. Her questions are met with hushed whispers, and she soon finds
herself alone in the empty halls, left to tidy and clean rooms no one visits.
As the feeling of being watched grows,
she begins to realize there is something else in the house with them--some
creature that stalks the frozen halls and claws at her door. A creature that
seems intent on harming her.
When a fire leaves Anne trapped in the
manor with its Master, she finally demands to know why. But as she forces the
truth about what haunts the grounds from Lord Grey, she learns secrets she
isn't prepared for. The creature is very real, and she's the only one who can
help him stop it.
Now, Anne must either risk her life for
the young man she's grown to admire, or abandon her post while she still can.
