NINTH HOUSE meets TEEN WOLF with the social bite of GOSSIP GIRL in this haunting dark academia tale set in the coastal town of Driftmoor, where old money families guard darker secrets than anyone realizes.
Dorothy arrives at Driftmoor Academy desperate to leave her past behind and become someone new. But when a car crash leaves her suspended between life and death, something ancient inside her awakens. Whispers stalk her through the night. Nightmares claw at her sleep. And death follows wherever she goes.
As she becomes entangled in the gilded world of Driftmoor's elite, Dorothy uncovers the truth: the founding bloodlines made a bargain long ago, binding their descendants to a curse that's beginning to unravel.
There's the boy touched by the sea, who's drawn to a song no one else can hear. The socialite carved from gold and expectation, clinging to perfection before it shatters. And the son born in shadows, raised by a family that never intended to keep him.
Linked by the bargains of their ancestors, the heirs of Driftmoor must decide whether to break the curses that shaped them or become the monsters their ancestors bargained for.
Because in Driftmoor, tradition is suffering. And every curse demands a price.
The Monsters They Made Us is a haunting debut that blends the supernatural, dark academia, and magic on the rocky coast of Massachusetts.
