A richly atmospheric tale of murder, guilt, redemption, and finding love where least expected, set in 1800s New England.

As a child, Valentine saw her mother murder the wealthiest man in town and hang at the gallows. Neglected by her father, she's learned to fend for herself in a crumbling estate that feels haunted by the past.

Now a top student at Drake Academy, she's determined to overcome the shame of her mother's crime. But when a new murder strikes the town, the daughter of a killer is the most likely suspect. Dark secrets are revealed, and a powerful enemy plots against her.

Valentine must hunt down the real killer before she's arrested and hanged-and finds an unlikely ally in Rowan Blackshaw, the son of the man her mother murdered all those years ago.

For ages 12 and up, a murder mystery with deadly stakes, thrilling twists, and romance.
