In this elegant gothic horror tale set in post-revolutionary Russia, two formerly aristocratic sisters race to uncover their family’s long-buried secrets in a house haunted by a past too dangerous — and deadly — to remember.

It’s the summer of 1921, and a group of Bolsheviks has taken over Irina and Lili Goliteva’s ancestral home in Moscow, a stately mansion falling into disrepair. The remaining family members are ordered to move into the cramped attic while the officials take over an entire wing of the grand room downstairs. The sisters understand it is the way of things and know they must forget their noble upbringing to make their way in this new Soviet Russia. But the house begins to whisper of a traumatic past that’s not as dead as they thought.

Eager to escape the mysterious house and their unwelcome new landlords, Irina and Lili find jobs with the recently arrived American Relief Administration, meant to ease post-revolutionary famine in Russia. For the sisters, working at the ARA would provide much-needed food and employment, as well as a chance for Irina to help those less fortunate and Lili to get involved in a good cause. It might lead them to something more unexpected too: love.

But back at the house, the spirits of their deceased family awaken, desperate to enact sinister revenge for what really happened to them during the Revolution. Soon one of the officials living in the house is found dead. Questions begin to arise: Was his death natural, or was it caused by something supernatural? And are Irina and Lili and their family next? Only unearthing the frightening secrets of Moscow House will reveal the truth. But this means the sisters must dig deep into a past no one in Russia, except the dead, is allowed to remember.
