"A dark YA fantasy debut perfect for fans of House of Hollow and Small Favors. In the wake of her father's death, a teen girl discovers a side of her family she didn't know existed, and is pulled into a dark-and ancient-bargain she is next in line to fulfill.
Kit's father always told her he had no family, but his sudden death revealed the truth. Now Kit has a grandmother she never knew she had-Agatha Starling-and an invitation to visit her father's hometown, Rosemont.
And Rosemont is picture perfect: the famed eternal roses bloom all year, downtown is straight out of the 1950s . . . there's even a cute guy to show Kit around.
The longer Kit's there, though, the stranger it all feels. The Starling family is revered, but there's something off about how the Starling women seem to be at the center of the all the town's important history. And as welcoming as the locals are, Kit can't shake the feeling that they're hiding something from her.
Agatha is so happy to finally meet her only granddaughter, and the town is truly charming, but Kit can't help wondering, if everything is so great in Rosemont, why did her father leave? And why does it seem like he never wanted her to find it?"
