Some houses breathe. This one remembers.
When seventeen-year-old Evangeline Grey returns to Greystone Manor - her family's ancestral estate drowned in mist and mourning - she doesn't expect to find a mirror that watches her sleep, whispers that echo her name, or a girl trapped on the other side of the glass who wears her face and begs for help.
The house is alive. It dreams in portraits and speaks through silence. And it wants something from her - something written in blood, buried in memory, and hidden behind centuries of cursed reflection.
Guided by a mysterious tutor with secrets of his own and haunted by the fate of a forgotten ancestor, Evangeline must uncover the truth behind her family's legacy before the house claims her soul... like it did so many before.
But in a place where mirrors lie and dreams rot in frames, saving another may mean losing yourself.
Forever.
