We’re thrilled to announce that The Estate by Sarah Jost is officially published today with Sourcebooks!
This gripping speculative suspense novel follows Camille Lerray, a woman with a rare and dangerous gift: the ability to step inside paintings. A successful art historian, Camille has used her power to elevate her career, and sell art for millions. But tampering with history comes at a cost, and Camille’s reckless use of her abilities has caught the attention of someone watching from the shadows.
When her career and reputation crash after a disastrous misuse of her gift, Camille is desperate to reclaim her former life—no matter the personal cost. Enter Maxime Foucault, a mysterious French aristocrat with a sprawling, ancient estate, who offers her a chance at redemption. He needs her help authenticating statues by a controversial, long-dead artist branded a madwoman. It’s the perfect opportunity to restore her career—and maybe even win the heart of the elusive Maxime.
But the Foucault family and their hauntingly luxurious chateau hide dark secrets. As Camille becomes more entangled in their world of wealth, power, and deceit, she begins to question everything she thought she knew—about herself, her powers, and the price she’s willing to pay for a second chance.
Suspenseful, atmospheric, and full of unexpected twists, The Estate will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very last page.
Early reviews for The Estate have been wonderful:
“The world of art is blown wide open in Sarah Jost’s The Estate, as her protagonist’s gift for literally entering works of art unlocks a mystery and the truth in a novel that is at once fantastic, romantic and always exciting.”
Jonathan Santlofer, Author of the The Last Mona Lisa and The Lost Van Gogh
“Sarah Jost has crafted a story that shimmers with intrigue. This is a haunting, twisting plot fueled by obsession, magic, and above all, the extraordinary power and beauty of art.”
Michael Thompson, author of How to be Remembered
“I loved this compelling tale about art, obsession and secrets across time. A thought-provoking meditation on the dubious world of art investment that also delves into the spiritual sphere as sculpture specialist Camille Leray’s hidden talent – an ability to tap into the thoughts of a deceased artist – pulls her into a dark and dangerous past. I adored it.”
Jo Leevers, author of It Ends With Us
