Bits & Pieces

Sometimes, to survive, you have to give up part of yourself.

At fourteen, Abigail has no answer to the question of who she really is. Her life has been consumed by caring for her damaged mother. When tragedy strikes, she is uprooted from her bleak city flat and sent to live at her estranged uncle's country estate.

Silenus House is a maze of shadowed corridors and echoing rooms, filled with artifacts that hint at sinister histories. For the first time, Abigail has the chance to experience the childhood she has been denied. But the estate's wealth comes with a darkness she cannot ignore.

Her uncle is welcoming, but his three children watch Abigail with an unsettling intensity, as if weighing her for something she does not yet understand. At night, strange noises seep through the walls. And as she is drawn deeper into the family's disturbing traditions, Abigail realizes her arrival may not be an act of kindness at all, but the continuation of a legacy that demands sacrifice.
