The house of Edenmorrow is plagued by rumors of strange deaths, madness, and violence. It is not the type of place that young peasant girls ought to go without an escort. Unfortunately as it is the decree of their Lord, they have no choice. The girls quickly find out that nothing on the Estate is as it seems, and that although one of the 12 maidens invited will be chosen to marry a noble - the safety of the other 11 is highly questionable.
