Three years ago, Monty Bluemoon was sent to stay with the DeBeau family whilst recovering from a devastating battle with cancer. His only joy was the sweet company of the DeBeau’s youngest daughter, Ivy.
One summer night, Ivy shot her father dead.
Now Ivy and her sister Victoria have come to Australia, and back into Monty’s life, blackened by their past and their nefarious armaments business.
Haunted by tragedy and misfortune, Monty becomes caught up in the antagonistic devotion between the two sisters, and begins a complicated love affair with Ivy, enraptured by her progressive nature and intellectual brilliance. Both strengthened and hindered by their obsession with one another, Monty and Ivy grow from haunted adolescents into cunning and brilliant criminal masterminds. But as the traumas of their pasts begin to catch up with them, more than their own lives become at risk…
Was Ivy Monty’s making, or will she be his downfall? One thing is certain; be ready to forget everything you think you know about Ivy DeBeau…
Set in the heat of 1930s Australia, The Demon’s Dollhouse is a dark tale of passion and resilience, and the sacrifices we make in order to control our own fates.
