From the best-selling author of All the Stars and Teeth (2020) comes a new series that follows orphan Signa Farrow, whose life has been filled with omens of death. After nearly 19 years of greedy guardians being bent on gaining her inheritance and meeting unlikely demises, Signa is summoned to Thorn Grove, the estate of her mysterious distant relatives, the Hawthornes. As the family's unsavory secrets unravel and their matriarch's ghost reveals the truth of her murder, Signa must follow the trail of clues to protect her new family. Grace's gothic murder mystery is abundant in gorgeous illustrative prose surrounding Death himself, who figures to be a bigger player in the plot than Signa would have liked. As her relationships with the Hawthornes grow, Signa realizes she may have to take control of the powers that have been lurking in the shadows all of her life. The result is an immersive, romantic atmosphere with dangerous secrets about inherited wealth, death, love, and danger embedded in every page.

The New York Times bestselling author of All the Stars and Teeth brings to life a highly romantic, Gothic-infused world of wealth, desire, and betrayal.
Orphaned as a baby, nineteen-year-old Signa has been raised by a string of guardians, each more interested in her wealth than her well-being—and each has met an untimely end. Her remaining relatives are the elusive Hawthornes, an eccentric family living at Thorn Grove, an estate both glittering and gloomy. Its patriarch mourns his late wife through wild parties, while his son grapples for control of the family’s waning reputation and his daughter suffers from a mysterious illness. But when their mother’s restless spirit appears claiming she was poisoned, Signa realizes that the family she depends on could be in grave danger and enlists the help of a surly stable boy to hunt down the killer.
However, Signa’s best chance of uncovering the murderer is an alliance with Death himself, a fascinating, dangerous shadow who has never been far from her side. Though he’s made her life a living hell, Death shows Signa that their growing connection may be more powerful—and more irresistible—than she ever dared imagine.
