About House of Roots and Ruin
Verity Thaumas longs to leave the family estate of Highmoor, but her sister Camille reveals a terrible secret: Verity has been seeing ghosts without knowing it. Fleeing to Bloem to paint a portrait, Verity is drawn into romance, luxury, nightmares, and the sickly-sweet darkness hidden beneath the manor’s beauty.
