For there are many secrets behind the walls of High Place. Shy and gentle, he seems to want to help Noemí, but might also be hiding dark knowledge of his family’s past. Her only ally in this inhospitable abode is the family’s youngest son. But she’s also tough and smart, with an indomitable will, and she is not afraid: Not of her cousin’s new husband, who is both menacing and alluring not of his father, the ancient patriarch who seems to be fascinated by Noemí and not even of the house itself, which begins to invade Noemi’s dreams with visions of blood and doom.

After receiving a frantic letter from her newly-wed cousin begging for someone to save her from a mysterious doom, Noemí Taboada heads to High Place, a distant house in the Mexican countryside.
