Olivia Prior has grown up in Merilance School for Girls; and all she has of her past is her mother’s journal—which seems to unravel into madness. Then; a letter invites Olivia to come home to Gallant. Yet when Olivia arrives; no one is expecting her. But Olivia is not about to leave the first place that feels like home; it doesn’t matter if her cousin Matthew is hostile; or if she sees half-formed ghouls haunting the hallways.
Olivia knows that Gallant is hiding secrets; and she is determined to uncover them. When she crosses a ruined wall at just the right moment; Olivia finds herself in a place that is Gallant—but not. The manor is crumbling; the ghouls are solid; and a mysterious figure rules over all. Now Olivia sees what has unraveled generations of her family; and where her father may have come from.
Olivia has always wanted to belong somewhere; but will she take her place as a Prior; protecting our world against the Master of the House? Or will she take her place beside him?
