‘Step inside a story book.’–Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling writer of Caraval

Get swept apart by the brand new York Instances bestseller that Melissa Albert, author of The Hazel Real wood, phone calls ‘eerie’ and ‘lovely.’ As one by one her gorgeous sisters mysteriously pass away on the isolated island estate, Annaleigh must unravel the curse that haunts her family members. Be cautious who you dance with…

Inside a manor by the sea, twelve sisters are cursed.

Annaleigh lives a sheltered lifestyle at Highmoor with approximately House of Salt and Sorrows her sisters and their dad and stepmother. Once there were twelve, but loneliness fills the grand halls now that four from the ladies’ lives have been trim short. Each death was more tragic than the last–the plague, a plummeting fall, a drowning, a slippery plunge–and you will find whispers throughout the surrounding villages that the family is usually cursed with the gods.

Disturbed by a series of ghostly visions, Annaleigh turns into increasingly suspicious that her sister’s deaths were no accidents. Girls have been sneaking out every evening to attend glittering balls, dance until dawn in silk dresses and shimmering household slippers, and Annaleigh isn’t sure whether to attempt to stop them or even to sign up for 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 Sodium and Sorrows is certainly a spellbinding novel filled with magic as well as the rustle of gossamer skirts down longer, dark hallways. Prepare yourself to become swept away.
