A visionary and atmospheric gothic fantasy about necromancy, vengeance, and soul-consuming love, the first in a duology from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth
This decadently dark first edition hardcover features designed sprayed edges and full-color illustrated endpapersâwhile supplies last!
âGorgeously gruesome . . . reads like the gory bones of a forgotten folktale.ââJacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushielâs Legacy series
Once there was an island where the dead walked the earth, and seven noble houses ruled by the arcane secrets of necromancy.
A conquerorâs blade brought them low, burning their libraries, killing their lords, and extinguishing their eldritch magic.
But defiant against the new order stands the House of Teeth and its last living members: beautiful Marozia, the heiress to the House, and her cousin, the uncanny Lady Agnes.
Though she has not spoken a word in seven years, Agnes is the true carrier of the Houseâs legacy. And she has her orders. She must recapture the secrets of death magic and avenge her familyâs fallen honor. She must arrange the betrothal of her beloved cousin Marozia to Liuprand, heir to the conquerorâs throne, for access to the forbidden library in his grotesquely grand castle.
Revenge burns in Agnesâs heart but so do stranger passionsâand it is Liuprand, the golden prince, who speaks to her soul. This passion is as treasonous as it is powerful, poisoning the kingdomâs roots and threatening to tear the already shattered realm in two.
For Agnesâs final order is the gravest: She must not fall in love.
