No One Leaves the Manor

By: Kelly McWilliams

Published by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, 2026

A deliciously twisted, fast-paced YA horror, where debutante dreams become bloody nightmares--perfect for fans of House of Hollow and Their Vicious Games.



It's 1921, and Mrs. Caroline Reginald Kane, the last surviving descendant of a family of oil barons, has invited four young debutantes to visit her at Greystone Manor. There, they'll compete for the ultimate prize: to become heir to her unspeakably vast fortune.

But only one girl can win.

And the manor is watching.

Dorothea is a thief, and the best liar in the American Northeast. Her mother vanished at Greystone years ago, and she's determined to find out why--so long as no one uncovers her secrets first.

Vaughn isn't crazy. She was born for this life--and she won't let anyone come between her and the fortune she deserves.

Birdie doesn't know why she's been invited, but she believes everything happens for a reason...and that reason just might be divine.

Elspeth is called "pretty as a peach, dim as a doorknob." But she sees things that the others can't: whispering birds, shifting doors, and a language that should never be spoken.

And there's something else hidden behind these walls. Something sinister.

It doesn't plan to let them leave alive.
