When Elisa Langston is summoned to a lawyer's office with a set of tarnished keys and a folded will, she thinks she's been handed a way out of poverty. Instead, she's been handed a legacy: the Langston estate, a house sealed by superstition and a curse that has claimed daughters for generations. The manor is beautiful. It's dangerous. And it insists she stay.
Elisa has five nights, a rusty key, and a stubborn heart. If she fails, every descendant of her line dies-and the thing that rules the house will be free. If she wins, she'll earn a family she never had and a power she never wanted.
