From the New York Times bestselling
author of Asylum comes the second book in a creepy
fantasy series that Publishers Weekly praised as “darkly delightful.” Perfect for fans of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children.

After the frightful events of last autumn,
seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at
Coldthistle House, a place of distortions and lies, but she has not
settled into what that means for her humanity.

As Louisa struggles to figure out whether she is worthy of
redemption, the devilish Mr. Morningside plans a fete—one that will bring new
guests to Coldthistle House. From wicked humans to Upworlders, angelic beings
who look down on Mr. Morningside’s monstrous staff, all are armed with their
own brand of self-righteous justice.

Even a man claiming to be Louisa’s father has a role to
play, though what his true motive is, Louisa cannot tell. The conflicts will
eventually come to a head on the grounds of Coldthistle House—and the stakes
include Louisa’s very soul.

In this second book of Madeleine Roux’s
suspenseful House of Furies series, illustrations from artist Iris Compiet and
chilling photographs help bring to life a twisted world where the line between
monsters and men is ghostly thin.

“Takes the reader
on a twisting path down a dark hall we’re compelled to travel, no matter what
is behind the door at the end. Darkly captivating.” —Mindy McGinnis, Edgar
