Synopsis

A teen girl's attempt to make amends with her former friendship group takes a sinister turn during a weekend getaway at an ancestral Irish estate in this atmospheric, literary horror from the author of Those We Drown.

At the illustrious Greyscott's Academy, reputation is everything.

For Meg, the daughter of the school's janitor, the rules are simple: keep your head down, don't step on any rich kids' toes and stay invisible until graduation. That is, until the glamorous Wren twins - the beautiful, troubled Lottie and the magnetic Sebastien - decide to take Meg under their gilded wings. But not all that glitters is gold. After a disastrous incident at Greyscott's famous Midsummer Ball, Meg finds herself on the outs.

Desperate to make amends, Meg gratefully accepts an invite to the twins' Halloween party at Wren Hall, a windswept manor complete with a ruined, towering folly. But nothing goes to plan. And when one of the party-goers disappears and a violent storm traps the group inside the house, she realizes there's more to the Wren twins than meets the eye . . .
