NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Get swept away by this “haunting” (Bustle) novel about twelve beautiful sisters living on an isolated island estate who begin to mysteriously die one by one.
"Step inside a fairy tale." —Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Caraval
In a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.
Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor with her sisters and their father and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four of the girls' lives have been cut short. Each death was more tragic than the last—the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge—and there are whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is cursed by the gods.
Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh becomes increasingly suspicious that her sister's deaths were no accidents. The girls have been sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, dancing until dawn in silk gowns and shimmering slippers, and Annaleigh isn't sure whether to try to stop them or to join their forbidden trysts. Because who—or what—are they really dancing with?
When Annaleigh's involvement with a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own intensifies, it's a race to unravel the darkness that has fallen over her family—before it claims her next. House of Salt and Sorrows is a spellbinding novel filled with magic and the rustle of gossamer skirts down long, dark hallways. Be careful who you dance with...
And don't miss Erin A. Craig's newest novel, The Thirteenth Child, a haunting and romantic novel about the impossible choices we make in the name of love.

      Narrator Emily Lawrence delivers Craig's glittering debut with thoughtful precision, allowing the audio's unsettling atmosphere to come to the forefront. In this reimagining of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses," listeners meet Annaleigh, one of 12 sisters whose family has been cursed by a series of mysterious deaths. Lawrence fully inhabits Annaleigh's steely character and communicates her growing fear when more sisters meet their untimely end. She ably captures Annaleigh's warring emotions, including her torment when overcome by ghastly visions, her growing love for a new suitor, and her cautious enjoyment of the enchanting land where her sisters dance with abandon. This moody tale told with a perfect blend of intensity and drama is sure to appeal to lovers of gothic horror, romance, and mystery. S.A.H. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine
