Devereaux House: What Sleeps Below (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798185644713)

The hook doesn't pull you toward compliance. It teaches you to pull yourself.
Margot came to Devereaux House seeking answers about her mother-a woman who was the house's equal, its negotiator, until she tried to destroy it and failed. What she found instead was a binding. A hook embedded in her chest. A supernatural force that doesn't break bodies; it breaks wills.
The house operates on a system of perfect precision: pain teaches, relief rewards, and small acts of kindness become chains. For twenty-nine days, Margot endures the conditioning-the bell that wakes her at eight o'clock, breakfast served at the exact temperature she prefers, the garden where certain plants are forbidden. With each passing day, the distinction between what the house demands and what Margot wants begins to dissolve.
But something ancient lives beneath Devereaux House. Something vast and patient and drowning. The drowned women who haunt the halls are not trapped-they are choosing to remain. And as Margot's resistance weakens, she begins to understand the true nature of her binding: she is not being prepared for slavery. She is being prepared for communion.
By day twenty-four, Margot stands in water over her head, consciousness fragmenting, standing at the threshold of a transformation that will remake her entirely. The house believes it knows what she will choose.
It is about to discover how terribly wrong it can be.
