Cheryl Andrews never fit in. 

A social pariah, always at odds with her family, she is everything her perfect high society parents stand against. As much as the nineteen year old despises her mother's constant efforts at changing her however, Cheryl can't tear herself away from the privileges that her name and old money have made out for her.

The life her family offers her, of course, is the only one that she knows. But when a distant uncle dies, leaving her a mansion, some money and a broken mirror, Cheryl realizes this as her one chance to prove herself. 

Move into this new home, she will, just to show her parents and boring older sister that she really is capable of surviving the big bad world all alone. But the mansion and the money come with strings attached and after just a few days, Cheryl understands that there is more to the will then meets the eye. 

"There are far worse things than death, little one," the woman told me. "Far worse things."
