An isolated mansion. A chillingly charismatic aristocrat. And a brave socialite drawn to expose their treacherous secrets. . . . From the author of Gods of Jade and Shadow comes \u201ca terrifying twist on classic gothic horror\u201d (Kirkus Reviews) set in glamorous 1950s Mexico.<\/p>\n

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noem\u00ed Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside. She\u2019s not sure what she will find\u2014her cousin\u2019s husband, a handsome Englishman, is a stranger, and Noem\u00ed knows little about the region.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0
\u00a0
Noem\u00ed is also an unlikely rescuer: She\u2019s a glamorous debutante, and her chic gowns and perfect red lipstick are more suited for cocktail parties than amateur sleuthing. But she\u2019s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin\u2019s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring; not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noem\u00ed; and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi\u2019s dreams with visions of blood and doom.
\u00a0
Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family\u2019s youngest son. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noem\u00ed, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family\u2019s past. For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. The family\u2019s once colossal wealth and faded mining empire kept them from prying eyes, but as Noem\u00ed digs deeper she unearths stories of violence and madness.\u00a0
\u00a0
And Noem\u00ed, mesmerized by the terrifying yet seductive world of High Place, may soon find it impossible to ever leave this enigmatic house behind.<\/p>\n

The Mayan god of death sends a young woman on a harrowing, life-changing journey in this dark, one-of-a-kind fairy tale inspired by Mexican folklore. A simmering historical noir about a daydreaming secretary, a lonesome enforcer, and the mystery of the missing woman they\u2019re both desperate to find. A dreamy reimagining of The Island of Doctor Moreau set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Mexico. <\/p>\n
