Aurora Vale had never been lucky. She was the kind of girl trouble found easily, as if the world knew she had nowhere safe to run. In only a short time, her life twists from hunger and survival into castles, monsters, old magic, and choices she never asked to make. Every door she opens seems to lead to something worse, and every escape comes with a sharper kind of danger. But not every curse is what it seems. And as Aurora is pulled deeper into a world far more complex than she understands, she begins to wonder if ruin sometimes arrives disguised as salvation.

A gothic story set in Castle Dimitrescu about a young girl who travels with a seamstress to a remote castle for work. What starts as a simple stay turns tense and overwhelming as the castle proves to be huge, eerie, and full of things no one talks about. The girl struggles with fear and feeling out of place, and sometimes slips into younger, regressed states when things become too much for her. She's not really understood by anyone there at first. Lady Dimitrescu, the castle's strict and intimidating owner, isn't the type to care for guests-but she notices more than she lets on. Over time, things slowly shift as the castle stops feeling quite as cold, and something like reluctant protection starts to form.
