In November 1816, Emeline Fitzpatrick, a restless young woman from foggy Halifax, is eager to escape her oppressive life. With her guardian pushing repugnant suitors her way, she pins her hopes on a British Navy lieutenant, desperate for him to propose and offer her a chance at happiness. But when her plans crumble in scandal, her only option becomes the wealthy Captain Graves, a mysterious widower who has already lost two wives under tragic circumstances. Emeline reluctantly agrees to become his new bride and moves into his eerie seaside manor, Faraday House.

Upon arrival, she is shocked to discover that Georgina, the second Mrs. Graves, is still alive but barely hanging on. Something sinister lurks within the walls of Faraday House, and Emeline quickly realizes that she must rely on her own wits to survive. As she bonds with the ailing Georgina and an enigmatic reverend with a shadowy past, Emeline delves into the secrets of the manor, uncovering a chilling mystery that threatens her life.
