  • You're drawn to stories where a single hidden truth poisons an entire household and everyone in it.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You haven't read Flowers in the Attic and prefer standalone novels with complete resolutions.

About this book

This novel serves as a prequel to Flowers in the Attic, exploring the origins of the Foxworth family's dark history. Olivia arrives at Foxworth Hall as Malcolm Foxworth's bride, hoping to finally achieve the happy life she has long desired. However, the gloomy mansion, with its hidden rooms and concealed tensions, becomes a place where jealous obsession and forbidden desires take root. As Olivia settles into her new life, secrets begin to emerge that threaten her family—two sons and one daughter. One child harbors a shocking secret that will damage the Foxworth name and cast a shadow over all their futures. The novel traces how the evil that will eventually lead to the attic's horrors first takes hold within the family.
