Osiřelou Signu vychovávala řada pěstounů, z nichž se každý zajímal spíš o její bohatství než o blahobyt – a všichni ji časem opustili. Jediní příbuzní, kteří zbývají, jsou výstřední Hawthornovi žijící v krásném, ale ponurém panství Thorn Grove. Pán domu se ze zármutku nad smrtí své ženy dostává večírky, zatímco jeho syn bojuje za záchranu rodinné reputace a dcera trpí záhadnou nemocí. Když se objeví duch jejich matky a tvrdí, že byla otrávena, Signa si uvědomí, že rodina by mohla být ve vážném nebezpečí a začne pátrat po vrahovi. Vtom jí nejvíce pomáhá spojenectví se samotnou Smrtí, fascinujícím a nebezpečným stínem, který ji doprovází celý život. A ukáže Signě, že jejich spojení je důležitější, než si dokázala představit.
