The Devil’s Canary

"In Raven’s Perch, New York, the Blackwood family stands as an icon of old American wealth. Its patriarch, Victor, is publicly revered as a charitable celebrity, yet for twenty years, he has used the White Rose Balls to hunt young men and women to satisfy his twisted desires and secure heirs. Every horrific crime is pinned on his only son, Lucien. Rumors paint Lucien as a depraved libertine, and it is said all five of his fiancées met their deaths at his hands. Chloe marries Lucien to save her brother Jonah, who has caught Victor’s eye. As she digs deeper, the truth unfolds: Lucien has never laid a hand on her and has secretly protected her all along. She soon discovers the real monster is not Lucien, but his father Victor. Unable to father children himself yet obsessed with preserving his bloodline, Victor has preyed upon young attendees at the White Rose Balls for two decades. Lucien has borne the blame for all of his father’s sins year after year. In the end, Chloe and Lucien join forces to take down Victor and build a happy life together."
