Spirits are drawn to salt—whether blood or tears.
Roos Beckman has a unique bond with a spirit only she can see: Ruth, a corpse-like ghost who’s been dead for centuries. Roos’ life takes an unexpected turn when she meets the wealthy widow Agnes Knoop during a séance. Drawn together, Roos is invited to Agnes’ decaying estate, where eerie events unfold—an ill woman haunts the halls, strange smells linger, and unsettling statues fill the family chapel.
But when someone is murdered, Roos becomes the prime suspect. Poor, alone, and with a past plagued by accusations of hysteria, Roos must unravel the estate’s dark secrets to prove her innocence—or risk losing everything, including the woman she’s grown to care for.
Can she uncover the truth before it’s too late?
