The silence is honest, but the secrets are lethal. Elena is the perfect candidate: a woman with no family, no past, and an expert ability to become whatever her employers need to survive. But when she steps through the iron gates of Blackwood Estate to serve the enigmatic Mr. Thorne and his chillingly precise wife, she realizes her value isn't in her cleaning-it's in her capacity to witness the unthinkable and remain mute.
As bloodstains appear on silk and frantic scratches mar her bedroom door, Elena discovers a shattered woman hidden in the cellar and a mounting tally of maids who never left. The house is a predatory beast of gold and rot, and Elena is the next mark on the wall. She must navigate a labyrinth of drugged tea, locked rooms, and psychological warfare to uncover the truth of the "perfect candidate."Can she scrub away the sins of the past before she becomes the house's next permanent resident?
