The author of The Year of the Witching returns with a Gothic tale that is dark and captivating, following a young lady as she becomes entangled in a society where blood is power.
Raised in the slums, Marion Shaw has only ever known poverty and desire. She longs to flee the city and its suffering, but she doesn't think she will be able to until the day she comes across an odd job posting in the newspaper looking for a bloodmaid.
Marion applies for the job despite her lack of knowledge of the far north, where affluent lords dwell in luxury and consume the blood of those who work for them. She becomes the newest bloodmaid at the infamous House of Hunger in a couple of days. Marion gets sucked into a world of sinister revelry there. Countess Lisavet is at the heart of everything.
Overseeing this decadent court, the countess is equally feared and adored. She has a particular fondness for Marion. Marion is eager to win over her new mistress, Lisavet, who exudes charisma. Marion finds herself in a cruel game of cat and mouse when she learns that the House of Hunger's ancient walls conceal even older secrets. Her new home's laws must be quickly learned by her, or else its hallways will quickly become her cemetery.
