House of salts and sorrows tells us the story of twelve sisters that are believed to be cursed by the gods.
Annaleigh lives with her sisters, father and stepmother at Highmoor, a manor on an isolated island. Four sisters have already met their fate - hopelessly tragic deaths involving a plague demise, a library catastrophe, a bath tub drowning and a mysterious plunge.
A secret that is shared only by the sisters- all of them attend a dance each night till dawn. Just like the story of 12 dancing princesses; except in this version, instead of getting married- the sisters are dying one by one.
Verity the youngest, still sees her dead sisters roam in the manor, all of them injured, just like their corpses.
But when Annaleigh too experiences haunting illusions, she is keen to find out if the curses are real or all of it is just an evil in disguise before it's her turn to die.
" I dwelt alone / In a world of moan, /And my soul was a stagnant tide, /Till the fair and gentle Eulalie became my bride"
- Erin A.Craig (House of Salt and Sorrows)
