"Elisabeth Scrivener is finally settling into her new life with sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn. Now that their demon companion Silas has returned, so has scrutiny from nosy reporters hungry for gossip about the city's most powerful sorcerer and the librarian who stole his heart. But something strange is afoot at Thorn Manor: the estate's wards, which are meant to keep their home safe, are acting up and forcibly trapping the Manor's occupants inside. Surely it must be a coincidence that this happened just as Nathaniel and Elisabeth started getting closer to one another...? With no access to the outside world, Elisabeth and Nathaniel have to work together to discover the source of the magic before they're due to host the city's Midwinter Ball. Faced with a house filled with unexpected secrets, the couple will have to lean on their connection like never before to set things right before it's too late"--Publisher's description

From the New York Times bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns and An Enchantment of Ravens comes a thrilling new YA fantasy about a teen girl with mythic abilities who must defend her world against restless spirits of the dead. Perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare, Leigh Bardugo, Alexandra Bracken and Holly Black. The dead of Loraille do not rest. Artemisia is training to be a Gray Sister, a nun who cleanses the bodies of the deceased so that their souls can pass on. She’d rather deal with the dead than the living, who point and whisper about the odd girl who was once possessed by a violent spirit. When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia fights back by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a high saint’s relic. It is a revenant, a malevolent being now whispering in her head. Wielding its extraordinary power almost consumes her in body and soul. But death has come to Loraille, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has a chance of stopping it. As Artemisia investigates a mystery of saints, secrets and dark magic, an ancient evil is stirring. Can an untrained girl, tormented by the burden of containing the revenant’s devouring power, have any hope of defeating it?

Čarodejníci sú zlí. Elisabeth to vedela odjakživa. Vychovávali ju ako najdúcha v jednej z austermeerskych veľknižníc. Vyrastala tak medzi čarodejníckymi knihami - grimoármi, ktoré si šepkajú na policiach a rinčia železnými reťazami. Ak ich niekto oslobodí, zmenia sa na bizarné obludy z atramentu a kože. Elisabeth dúfa, že sa jedného dňa stane strážkyňou a bude chrániť kráľovstvo pred ich mocou. Pri útoku na knižnicu však utečie najnebezpečnejší grimoár. Elisabethina zúfalá snaha zastaviť ho spôsobí, že ju obvinia z účasti na zločine a postavia pred súd. Ocitne sa sama len so svojím úhlavným nepriateľom čarodejníkom Nathanielom Thornom a jeho záhadným démonickým služobníkom Silasom. Rozpúta sa okolo nich desaťročia plánované sprisahanie, ktoré by mohlo znamenať skazu nielen pre veľknižnice, ale aj pre celý svet. Postupne, ako jej spojenectvo s Nathanielom silnie, Elisabeth spochybňuje všetko, čo sa doteraz naučila - o čarodejníkoch, o svojich milovaných knižniciach, ba dokonca aj o sebe samej. Objaví v sebe totiž moc, o ktorej netušila, a budúcnosť, o akej ani nesnívala.

Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel's paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron--Rook, the autumn prince--she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes--a weakness that could cost him his life. Furious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumnlands to stand trial for her crime. Waylaid by the Wild Hunt's ghostly hounds, the tainted influence of the Alder King, and hideous monsters risen from barrow mounds, Isobel and Rook depend on one another for survival. Their alliance blossoms into trust, then love--and that love violates the fair folks' ruthless laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel
