Every object creates a shadow. even our own planet. It must touch somewhere, just as every other shadow does. Where the shadow meets its source is called a seam.
Olivia Prior attended Merilance School only for females, and the only memory of her background is found in her mother's diary, which seems to be spiraling into insanity. Olivia receives a letter inviting her to return home—to Gallant. Olivia comes, however, and nobody is prepared for her. Olivia is unwilling to leave the one place that makes her feel at home, regardless of her cousin Matthew's hostility or the half-formed ghouls she sees prowling the corridors.
Olivia is desperate to find out the secrets that Gallant is keeping. Olivia finds herself in a location that is Gallant—but not quite—when she happens to cross a collapsed wall at the perfect time. The ghouls are solid, the manor is collapsing, and an enigmatic entity controls over everything. Olivia can now identify the reasons for the disintegration of her family's generations and the possible origins of her father.
Olivia has always yearned to fit in, but will she step up to defend our planet from the Master of the House as a Prior? Or will she move in front of him?
