The House Saphir (Exclusive OwlCrate Edition)

The tale of Bluebeard is retold like never before in The House Saphir, a thrilling romantasy and murder mystery from bestselling author Marissa Meyer.

Mallory Fontaine is a fraud. Though she comes from a long line of witches, the only magic she possesses is the ability to see ghosts, which is rarely as useful as one would think. She and her sister have maintained the family business, eking out a paltry living by selling bogus spells to gullible buyers and conducting tours of the infamous House Saphir where Count Bastien Saphir brutally killed three of his wives more than a century ago.

Mallory never expected to meet Bastien's great-great grandson and heir to the Saphir estate, so when he offers Mallory a large sum of money to rid his ancestral home of its ghost, she can’t resist. But when murder again comes to the House Saphir, Mallory finds herself at the center of the investigation—and she is almost certain the killer is mortal. If she has any hope of cashing in on the payment she was promised, she’ll have to solve the murder and banish the ghost, all while upholding the illusion of witchcraft and learning to trust her heart.
