Acosada por una serie de visiones, Annaleigh comienza a sospechar que las muertes no fueron accidentes. Desde hace tiempo, sus hermanas se escabullen cada noche para asistir a deslumbrantes fiestas bailando hasta el amanecer con sus vestidos de seda, y Annaleigh no está segura de si intentar detenerlas o unirse a ellas en sus encuentros prohibidos. Porque ¿quién -o qué- está en realidad bailando con ellas?
Y, cuando Annaleigh conoce a un misterioso desconocido que guarda sus propios secretos, sus sospechas se convierten en una carrera para revelar la oscuridad que ha caído sobre su familia... antes de convertirse en su próxima víctima.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Get swept away by this "haunting" (Bustle) YA novel about twelve beautiful sisters living on an isolated island estate who begin to mysteriously die one by one. This dark and atmospheric fairy-tale-inspired story is perfect for fans of Yellowjackets.
"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 sisters' 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 Craig's Small Favors, a mesmerizing and chilling novel about dark wishes and even darker dreams.
