Every three years on April 13th, a Devlin dies. Fourteen-year-old Kit Devlin knows this because she lost both her parents to the family curse one afterthe other, sending her on an endless carousel of short-lived stints with estranged cousins and forgotten uncles. So when the news arrives that the eccentric grandfather she’s never met is the latest to kick to the bucket, she’s not surprised. What she doesn’t expect is the invitation to his funeral that comes with it—something no Devlin ever has.

Along with her current guardian, Aunt Something or Another (or Aunt Soraas Kit calls her), she arrives at the darkly whimsical Grimlore Manor in the strange and dreary town of Hearthstone, Scotland, only to discover she’s one of a select few Devlins invited to partake in a very special game. Whoever can solve the series of riddles and mysteries her grandfather left behind will inherit his fortune. With the money he left behind for Kit’s care swiftly dwindling, Aunt Sora makes it clear that without that inheritance, Kit will be out of a home. But as she burrows deeper into the game her grandfather left behind, she begins to uncover the truth behind the curse that took her parents—and how to break it. Kit throws herself into the competition, but in a house full of hidden rooms and secret doors that never lead where they’re supposed to, getting lost is the least of her worries.

Because her family members will do whatever it takes to win that inheritance—even kill…

Thirteen-year-old Anna Ballinkay has never been normal. Her family uses their psychic abilities to help run the Ravenfall Inn, a magical B&B between the human world and the Otherworld. But it’s hard to contribute when your only power is foreseeing death.

So when fourteen-year-old Colin Pierce arrives at Ravenfall searching for his missing older brother, Anna jumps at the chance to help. But the mysteries tied to Colin go much deeper than either of them expects…

Now the supernatural creature straight out of Celtic mythology, one with eerie connections to Colin’s family, is coming after them. If Anna and Colin can’t stop the creature, it would spell destruction for Ravenfall and the world as they know it.
