In the confusion of their hasty removal, their aunt neglected to inform the girls of the small detail that the elegant Fallswell Hall, their future home, was haunted by hordes of ghosts. In the scheme of things, this is a detail that the girls should be able to take in stride; however one ghost in particular seems bent on harming the eldest girl, Dae. To confront this issue, Dae seeks the assistance of the handsome Ghoster Amdreus Drouwd to help capture this problem spirit. Dae could not predict that in pursuing this violent, hateful ghost, that they would unravel a carefully woven web of lies and entanglements. Figuring out the how and the why, however, could prove to be too great a truth for this gentle, sweet girl to bear.
