Description
In 1925, Ivy Radcliffe is a grieving, unemployed Londoner scraping by after the Great War. A solicitor’s letter changes everything: Ivy is the last living heir to Blackwood Abbey in Yorkshire—an ancient estate with a legendary library. She arrives expecting loneliness and responsibility, but something far stranger waits behind locked doors.
As Ivy explores Blackwood’s shadowed corridors, she experiences violent hauntings, blank gaps in her memory, and headaches that worsen whenever she’s in the library. A charming local aristocrat, Sir Arthur Mabry, offers companionship—and takes an obsessive interest in the collection. Meanwhile, Ralph, the abbey’s brooding chauffeur, warns Ivy to leave before the house takes everything from her.
When Ivy discovers the library’s true appetite and a hidden manuscript tied to centuries of blood, Ivy must choose what she will sacrifice: her future, her freedom, and the pieces of herself that the house is determined to consume.
