Description
A mesmerizing story of a mysterious boarding school that keeps a many-century secret…
2019. Australian history teacher Teia Rast arrives at the elite boarding school in Oxley. She is to oversee the first cohort of girls in the school’s entire 150-year history. Along with the young students, Teia is housed in the House of Silk, where the shadows of the past conceal far more dreadful secrets than she could have imagined.
1768. Fourteen-year-old Rowen Kazwell gets a job as a maid at the House of a silk merchant in provincial, but wealthy, Oxley. Soon she becomes famous as a local healer. Yet in eighteenth-century England, the echoes of the witch hunt are still too strong for people to leave the girl in peace…
At the same time, in London, Mary-Louise Stevenson dreams of becoming a silk artist, creating incredible drawings from poisonous flowers of belladonna, spotted foxglove, scarlet poppies, and lovely aconite. One piece of fabric, smuggled to Oxley, unknowingly brings with it the dark energy of its pattern—which has already chosen its first victim…
