Left penniless and alone after her father’s sudden death, Isabella accepts a position at Harrowgate Manor, an isolated estate shrouded in secrets and sorrow. Whispers stalk the halls. Icy fingers graze her skin. And shadowed figures watch her from the dark. The spirits want something from her—and their intentions are growing darker.
Her new employer, the enigmatic Rhys Caradoc, is a man forged of silence and secrets. He claims to need her help cataloguing his rare book collection, but Isabella soon realizes he knows far more about her gift—and her past—than he should.
As the line between the living and the dead begins to blur, and Harrowgate’s buried horrors claw their way to the surface, Isabella must decide if Rhys is her protector… or something far more dangerous.
