Louisa Ditton doesn’t know who she is anymore. After the gruesome events of last autumn, she has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity. Do her changeling powers make her a monster like her employer, the devilish Mr. Morningside, or did her last act of heroism redeem her? As Louisa struggles with these weighty questions, Mr. Morningside plans a fete–one that will bring all manner of new guests to Coldthistle House, from wicked humans to Upworlders–angelic beings who look down upon Mr. Morningside’s monstrous staff and who bring with them their own brand of self-righteous justice. Even a man claiming to be Louisa’s father has a role to play, though what his true motive is, Louisa cannot tell. The conflicts will come to a head on the grounds of Coldthistle House—and the stakes include Louisa’s very soul.
