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 the estate’s wards, which are meant to keep their home safe, are acting up and forcibly trapping the Manor'’ 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, Nathaniel, and Silas—along with their new maid Mercy—will have to work together to discover the source of the magic behind the malfunctioning wards before they’re due to host the city’s Midwinter Ball. Not an easy task when the house is filled with unexpected secrets, and all Elisabeth can think about is kissing Nathaniel in peace. But when it becomes clear that the house, influenced by the magic of Nathaniel’s ancestors, requires a price for its obedience, Elisabeth and Nathaniel will have to lean on their connection like never before to set things right.

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 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.
