Louisa Ditton has nowhere to go. When she is offered employment as a maid at a boardinghouse, Louisa thinks she has been saved. But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa realizes that the house's mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests. In fact, Mr. Morningside and his unusual staff are executing their own brand of dark justice on those who are past being saved - including a charismatic young man Louisa is determined to prove innocent. In this first book in Madeleine Roux's gothic horror series, photographs and illustrations help bring to life a world where the line between monsters and men is ghastly thin. And don't miss the spine-tingling sequel, COURT OF SHADOWS.
