About this audiobook
*Some houses are built. Others are bound.*
Alastair Thornfield is the twelfth keeper of a covenant carved into the limestone in 1683. Forty-one years old. Grey eyes that absorb light instead of reflecting it. He does not age. He does not sleep. He has not been touched in over two decades. At fourteen, he watched a woman walk barefoot into the January snow and did nothing — and he has stood still ever since, keeping the thing in the west wing fed on his own warmth so it would not feed on anyone else. Margot Lin is thirty-one. A researcher with a scar across her left palm and twenty-three jobs in eight years. She came to Thornfield because the advertisement promised six months of silence at the end of a road that no longer appears on maps. She did not come to be seen. She has spent her life making herself invisible enough that no one would think to look. What she doesn't know: the advertisement was not his. The house wrote it, in a hand not quite human. She was not an accident.
