For seven years, Violet Sterling has lived in exile from her beloved Burleigh House – waiting for her father, a traitor to the King of England, to die. When that day finally arrives, Burleigh is a wreck – its magic is falling apart, and by extension, the magic that is supposed to hold that part of England together is wreaking havoc throughout the countryside. The king has given Vi only a few days to get Burleigh under control for the next Caretaker. Feeling betrayed, Vi has plan – it may just send her down the same road her father took. Luckily, she has her childhood friend, Wyn, to help. 

The romance takes a backseat to the dramatic interaction between Vi, Burleigh House, and the king. Excellent choice for your readers who love gothic novels like Erin A. Craig’s House of Salt and Sorrows
