THE HOUSE AT WATCH HILL was a patient beast, born of dichotomy, a familiar stranger, a beautiful monstrosity. It seduced before it terrified. And it would never be done with me... I was the sweetest thing the evil in those walls ever tasted. KAREN MARIE MONING IS BACK WITH A SEDUCTIVE NEW SERIES...


Zo Grey is still reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a call from an unknown attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, o ffering her an inheritance from a long-lost relative. With nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers a sprawling mansion that seems to pull inward - Watch Hill, an entity cloaked in shadows and laden with secrets. But there's a catch: she must endure three years alone within its ominous walls to claim her fortune.

As Zo delves deeper into the mansion's mysteries, she encounters a sinister, red-eyed owl, a captivating Scottish groundskeeper, doors that go nowhere, others that are impossible to open, and a turret into which there is no visible means of ingress, all while the townsfolk whisper of dark legends.

Unaware of her own ties to the house, Zo must confront ancient evils and unlock something deep and dark within herself . . . before evil consumes her completely.

Karen Marie Moning was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1964, the daughter of Anthony R. and Janet L. Moning. The family moved to a self-sustaining farm in Indiana when she was six years old, where she spent her youth raising cows, horses, tobacco, corn and other crops with her sisters and brother. Beyond the Highland Mist was published in 1999 and nominated for two RITA awards. She then published six more novels in her award-winning HIGHLANDER series, and received the RITA Award in 2001 for The Highlander's Touch. In 2004, she began writing the #1 New York Times bestselling FEVER series. The books have been optioned twice for potential franchise development by Twentieth Century Fox and DreamWorks Studios, but the rights are currently held by Moning who has expressed a desire to one day see it as a television series. Her novels have been published in over thirty countries. She divides her time between Ohio and Florida and is working on two future projects for Random House Publishing.
