From the Sunday Times bestselling author comes the first book in a brand new fantasy horror duology, perfect for fans of Jay Kristoff and Leigh Bardugo.

A story of secret societies and foul families. Of belonging and exile. Of corruption, corrosion, temptation and seduction.

With wealth, prestige, and influence at their fingertips, five families have embedded themselves into society, but when something threatens to undermine everything they've established, they must find a way to protect the world they've always known.
