There’s something in the lake at Wren Hall.
At least, that’s what the locals say. Not that Meg cares much about the rumors. When she’s asked to spend Halloween weekend at the Ireland retreat of the wealthy Wren twins, she recognizes the invitation for exactly what it is: her last, and only, chance to save her spot at Greyscott’s, the exclusive British art school she attended on scholarship until last summer. Clever, beautiful, and talented, the twins are the pride of Greyscott’s, and kindhearted Lottie Wren was once Meg’s closest friend. But not anymore.
None of Meg’s old friend group have talked to her since she left school—and they especially don’t talk about the incident that resulted in her suspension. Now, Meg is willing to do whatever it takes to earn their forgiveness.
But Wren Hall turns out to be far from the idyllic country manor Meg was expecting. The house is damp and drafty, the mirrors are all covered, and the weed-choked lake is at the center of legends that haunt the property to this day—a tainted legacy the estate seems unable to shake.
The truth is, people aren’t the only ones who keep secrets. Places can keep them too—and Wren Hall is drowning in them. When the past bleeds into the present and ancient sins rise to the surface, Meg must ask herself how well she really knows her one-time best friends...or whether any of them will survive the weekend.

In South London, teen Meg Green is determined to make the most of her scholarship to Greyscott’s Academy, one of Britain’s most elite art schools. After an incident at Greyscott’s summer ball results in her friend group abandoning her and a school suspension that jeopardizes her scholarship, Meg is desperate to win back the respect of her affluent peers, especially twins Lottie and Sebastien Chatto-Wren. When Lottie extends an olive branch and invites Meg to a Halloween getaway at the twins’ family estate in Ireland, Meg jumps at the chance to reconnect with the group and apologize to the girl she hurt at the ball—Laure Westridge—in hopes that Laure’s parents will stop pushing for Meg’s expulsion. But as mysterious rumors of a banshee haunting the halls begin circulating and strange happenings start occurring, Meg learns that there is more to the estate—and her friends themselves—than she anticipated. Goldsmith (Those We Drown) brings stunning atmosphere to the
forefront of this lushly described gothic mystery that features interrogations of class and gender. Most characters cue as white. Ages 14–up. Agent: Claire Friedman, InkWell Management.
