by Allen Houston (Author)
Vain Lily Blackwood and her shy brother Silas have never stayed anywhere long enough to call it home. When a mysterious stranger arrives claiming to be their uncle, they learn their parents have been hiding a secret that rips their lives apart.
Dragged to Nightfall Gardens, the family's crumbling ancestral estate, they discover a place steeped in ancient magic and haunted history. There they meet their dying grandmother and uncover the age-old curse placed on Blackwood women.
Lily must take her place as protector of the house and the three cursed gardens, each filled with mythical beasts, fairy-tale nightmares, and far worse. If she fails, the evil trapped within will be unleashed on the world.
Inside the house, Lily battles malevolent spirits. Outside, Silas is forced to survive the deadly gardens, where one wrong step means death.
