“An astonishing and engrossing turn from the rest of the Singing Hills Cycle. The Brides of High Hill is a wonderful ghost story with slow and steady momentum and a great climax that fans of T Kingfisher, and new and seasoned horror readers alike, won't want to miss! This addition cements the novella series as one of my favorites as they each have their own niche - if you didn't like one, try another!”

Summary
Nghi Vo's Hugo Award–winning Singing Hills Cycle returns with a stand-alone gothic mystery that unfolds in the empire of Ahn.
"A remarkable accomplishment of storytelling." —NPR on The Empress of Salt and Fortune
"Nghi Vo is one of the most original writers we have today." —Taylor Jenkins Reid on Siren Queen
The Cleric Chih accompanies a beautiful young bride to her wedding to the aging ruler of a crumbling estate situated at the crossroads of dead empires. The bride's party is welcomed with elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, but between the frightened servants and the cryptic warnings of the lord's mad son, they quickly realize that something is haunting the shadowed halls.
As Chih and the bride-to-be explore empty rooms and desolate courtyards, they are drawn into the mystery of what became of Lord Guo's previous wives and the dark history of Do Cao itself. But as the wedding night draws to its close, Chih will learn at their peril that not all monsters are to be found in the shadows; some monsters hide in plain sight.
