Belladonna

Orphaned Signa Farrow has spent her life being passed between greedy guardians, all while discovering she cannot die. When she is sent to live at the Thorn Grove estate, she finds her cousins suffering from a mysterious illness that claimed their mother. To catch a poisoner, Signa forms an alliance with Death, a physical entity only she can perceive. Together, they navigate Victorian social expectations and supernatural secrets to identify the murderer before the remaining family members perish from the same shadow.
