A dark and deadly curse haunts a dying family, manifesting itself with neither rhyme nor reason in its frequency except for its victim: a male child who will then be born without a soul. Living in a great house designed specifically for entrapment, monsters and the women who become reluctant champions for their children carry on a tragic cycle shaped by an inexplicable mystery.
And every final confrontation between the tainted and the protector is recorded in an old journal-a bloodstained volume handed down from champion to champion who must then learn how to rid her life of the monster she loves.
Helena Ash is terminally ill, and she is forced to take on the mantle of guardian for her grandson's sake. Crispin is only seventeen, and he is blind and has lived a secluded and sheltered life. Keeping him safe while confronting otherworldly forces intent upon destroying their bloodline means Helena will have to resort to every trick in the book to ensure her grandson's survival.
Now that includes, perhaps, the recruiting of a young gentleman who stumbles across the great house during a storm. Tadzio Michalak, a cynical Polish student traveling with his tutor, suddenly finds himself caught in a grotesque web that sounds like something his misguided and occult-loving father would prefer him to experience. And the longer he shelters against the storm's fury outside, the more he realizes there is simply no going back-no, not when Crispin lays unexpected claim on his heart.
