In a Regency England suffocating under a poisonous fog, Merrick Darling lives a life of privilege—immune to the corruption that turns commoners into Phantoms and protected behind the fiery borders of her family’s estate.
But after her father’s sudden death, Merrick is dragged from high society back to the crumbling Norland House, where her sister Essie is shaken and secrets rot behind locked doors. The protective fires are fading. The fog is closing in. And monsters—human and otherwise—are circling.
When Essie vanishes without a trace, Merrick must navigate treacherous alliances, deadly creatures, and the ruthless world of Manor politics to save what remains of her family.
Sense and Sensibility meets gothic romantasy in this haunting, high-stakes tale of loyalty, legacy, and survival.
