Ivan, Titus, Dorien.
These Bad Boys of Baroque may play like angels,
but theyâre determined to make my life hell.
When my mom got sick, my dreams of a career in music imploded. That is, until Madame Usher wafts into my life like a ghost from the past, offering me the chance to study at the exclusive Manderley Academy â a music school for the most gifted and wealthy.
Itâs an offer I canât refuseâfree room and board at the gothic mansion where elite students immerse themselves in mastering their art. But thereâs a catch, and itâs a big one.
Iâm her slave.
I clean the rooms. I polish the piano keys. I serve her and the three pretentious a-hole guys who rule this school.
I must endure their bullying in silence. Even when they destroy my things, sabotage my performances, and try their best to drive me from Manderley.
Rich. Arrogant. Cruel.
They wonât have the poor little charity case ruining their fun.
Theyâve heard me play.
They know Iâm a serious contender for the prestigious Manderley Prize.
These broken muses arenât used to losing, especially to the help.
But theyâre not the only ones haunting me.
Something twisted and evil shrouds Manderley Academy. Maybe my bullies are the least of my problems. Maybe Dorien, Ivan, and Titus arenât the ones behind the strange noises in the walls, the warnings scrawled on my mirror, and the gruesome murders on the school grounds.
Maybe...maybe Manderleyâs ghosts are real.
