It is a wasteland of honeysuckles and bleeding hearts...
Evelyn DuPont has never dared to dream very big, much to her mother's encouragement. Yet even she must concede that the prospect of dusting windows in the family shopfront for the rest of her life is a dull one.
But it seems as though fate's favor may finally be shifting when curiosity leads her to the forbidden store cellar below. Passing through an impossibly sunlit door, she is met by an enthralling Gothic mansion towering above a lush, green wood. And when the enchantress who inhabits the noble estate seems to know more about Evelyn's personal history than she herself does, the offer to be taught in the ancient art of spell-casting is enthusiastically accepted.
As the witch's apprentice comes further into her own, however, the mysteries of Imp House likewise grow more and more profound. A shattered mirror - and with it, the lies that her mentor has ruthlessly spun - leads to a confrontation that will threaten Evelyn's very life. For as she is beginning to learn, the secret to immortality is drenched in sins darker than the blackest night...
...and in Imp House, only magic can save you.
