In this standalone mystery set in the world of the New York Times
bestselling Greenglass House by an Edgar Award-winning author, a group
of strangers trapped in an otherworldly inn slowly reveal their secrets,
proving that nothing is what it seems and there's always more than one
side to the story.
The rain hasn't stopped for a week, and the twelve guests of the Blue
Vein Tavern are trapped by flooded roads and the rising Skidwrack River.
Among them are a ship's captain, tattooed twins, a musician, and a young
girl traveling on her own. To pass the time, they begin to tell
stories--each a different type of folklore--that eventually reveal more
about their own secrets than they intended.
As the rain continues to pour down--an uncanny, unnatural amount of
rain--the guests begin to realize that the entire city is in danger, and
not just from the flood. But they have only their stories, and one
another, to save them. Will it be enough?
"Will dazzle seasoned Milford fans and kindle new ones." (Publishers
