Raised in hiding in the country and knowing nothing of her mother, Lily has been taught from birth that her existence can only bring shame to her wealthy father. But when she nears her seventeenth birthday, she is finally summoned to her father's house in town...and discovers that everything she thought about herself was wrong.
And now she is a prisoner.
Locked among all the other mysteries in her father's grand house - including one young man who could be an ally or an enemy - she may finally discover the truth about her own nature...and exactly why her father considers her so valuable after all.
House of Secrets is a Victorian Gothic fantasy novelette of approximately 12,000 words. It's full of mystery, magic, and just a touch of romance.
