Description
In a vast, crumbling mansion they’ve never been allowed to leave, Tick and Polly live in a nursery that feels like a cage—dreaming of parents who share their blood but never show up. When the machines sustaining their sheltered existence fail, the children must cross the house’s endless, maze-like corridors, where deranged inhabitants and the remnants of other lost children turn every step into a fight for survival. As they push deeper, they uncover unsettling truths about their past and the strange rules that shaped the world they’ve grown up in. Blending dark fairy-tale dread with surreal, grotesque imagination, this novel explores abandonment, longing, and the terrifying cost of searching for belonging.
