A deliciously twisted, fast-paced YA horror, where debutante dreams become bloody nightmares-perfect for fans of House of Hollow and Their Vicious Games. It's 1921, and Mrs. Caroline Reginald Kane, the last surviving descendant of a family of oil barons, has invited four young debutantes to visit her at Greystone Manor. There, they'll compete for the ultimate prize: to become heir to her unspeakably vast fortune. But only one girl can win. And the manor is watching. Dorothea is a thief, and the best liar in the American Northeast. Her mother vanished at Greystone years ago, and she's determined to find out why-so long as no one uncovers her secrets first. Vaughn isn't crazy. She was born for this life-and she won't let anyone come between her and the fortune she deserves. Birdie doesn't know why she's been invited, but she believes everything happens for a reason...and that reason just might be divine. Elspeth is called "pretty as a peach, dim as a doorknob." But she sees things that the others can't: whispering birds, shifting doors, and a language that should never be spoken. And there's something else hidden behind these walls. Something sinister. It doesn't plan to let them leave alive.
