A teen girl's attempt to reconcile with her former friend group takes a sinister turn during a weekend getaway at an ancestral Irish estate in this atmospheric, literary horror from the author of Those We Drown. There's something in the lake at Wren Hall, or so the locals say. Meg, however, pays little heed to the rumors. When she's invited to spend Halloween weekend at the Ireland retreat of the wealthy Wren twins, she sees the invitation for what it is: her last chance to salvage her spot at Greyscott's, the exclusive British art school she attended on scholarship until last summer. The twins, clever, beautiful, and talented, were once Meg's closest friends, especially Lottie Wren. But that's all changed now. None of Meg's old friend group have spoken to her since she left school, particularly avoiding any discussion of the incident that led to her suspension. Determined to earn their forgiveness, Meg is willing to do whatever it takes. However, Wren Hall turns out to be far from the idyllic country manor Meg anticipated. The house is damp and drafty, the mirrors all covered, and the weed-choked lake lies at the center of haunting legends that permeate the property to this day a tainted legacy the estate seems unable to shake. Yet, secrets aren't exclusive to people; places can harbor them too.
