When Claire inherits the decaying mansion at Thirteen Raven Lane, she thinks she's escaped her past. The house is cold, vast, and strangely... aware.
Built on a forgotten grave, the house remembers everything that happened inside it. And it is hungry.
As the temperature drops and whispers fill the halls, Claire meets Margaret and young Lily - the house's previous keepers. They warn her: the house doesn't take residents. It makes a pact.
One death for protection. Two deaths for power. A final fire for rebirth.
Lily was first. Ethan is next. To survive, Claire must break rules written in blood, assemble a team who dare to enter, and make a bargain she can never undo.
Some houses are haunted. Thirteen Raven Lane is alive.
