Some houses are haunted.
Ravenswood Manor is hungry.
When FBI agent Elena Ashford receives a mysterious letter and a key to the family manor she never knew existed, she thinks she's investigating her mother's hidden past.
She's wrong.
Everyone who ever loved this house has died in it. Elena just inherited the keys — but she isn't the only one who has one.
The manor isn't just a house. It's awake. It remembers every soul that ever crossed its threshold, and it has waited seventy years for the blood to come home. A prison for the dead, a vault for an artifact that can rewrite reality, a trap built for exactly one family.
Everyone inside these walls burned in a single heartbeat. Now they're coming back — and someone let them in.
