Bromeliad House, once a sprawling heirloom estate on Florida’s Treasure Coast, is now a crumbling relic of a family worn to its barest threads. Within its walls, Delphine began seeing the doppelgängers of loved ones before they died. A phenomenon known as a fetch.

Delphine Pembroke sees a fetch for the first time at ten years old in a mirror at her family’s decaying subtropical estate. Soon after, she goes to live with her aunt and uncle and their two boys, who attempt to give her a normal life. Since childhood, she had witnessed the impending death of loved ones, creating a compulsion to never look in reflections. When Delphine becomes heir to Bromeliad House, she is ensnared in a sentient house desperate to keep her, and ghosts within set to keep her out.

As head architect on the property’s renovation, Delphine battles both human and spectral foes, while falling in love with someone whose fetch she had seen years earlier. Someone who should be dead. Delphine must learn to manage her second sight. Even if each time she sets foot in Bromeliad House, she is pushed further towards the fate of her family members forever entombed within its reflections.
