FOR AS LONG AS SIGNA FARROW HAS BEEN ALIVE, THE PEOPLE IN HER LIFE HAVE FALLEN LIKE STARS…
Orphaned as a baby, Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each one more interested in her fortune than her well-being. And each one has met an untimely end. Her only remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family who live at Thorn Grove, a estate as glittering as it is grim. The patriarch mourns his wife’s death by throwing wild parties, while his son struggles to keep the family’s declining reputation in check, and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness.
But when her mother's restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes the family she depends on could be in grave danger, and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to catch the culprit.
Signa’s best option for unmasking the murderer is to align with Death, a fascinating and dangerous shadow who has never strayed from her side. Despite making her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection might be more powerful (and more irresistible) than she had ever imagined.
