House of Salt and Sorrows 

【受詛咒的神秘莊園，跳著舞的十二個姊妹】 

在一座寧靜而幽美的莊園裡，住著Annaleigh與她的家人們，包括了爸爸、繼母以及她的十二位姊妹們，或者是說…“曾經”的十二位姊妹，因為在那些逝去的姊妹們接連以溺水、懸崖失足等悲慘的方式遇難後，目前只剩八個姊妹相扶相持，Annaleigh覺得這並不是單純的巧合，決定進行調查，但最神秘的是，姊妹們每天晚上都打扮華麗，換上漂亮的高跟鞋去跳舞一直到黎明時分才回家，她們到哪了？又是和誰一起跳舞？每當她覺得靠近事情的真相時，謎團卻又一個接著一個的出現，她能順利解決嗎？

改編自格林童話《The Twelve Dancing Princesses十二個跳舞的公主》，作者Erin A. Craig用迷人的口吻卻又帶點毛骨悚然的方式講述，其故事的轉折多到你無法想像！穿插著詛咒及各種神祕色彩，喜歡童話改編的讀者絕對不能錯過。

Annaleigh lives a sheltered life at Highmoor, a manor by the sea, with her sisters, their father, and stepmother. Once they 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 the deaths were no accidents. Her sisters 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.
