Beschreibung

<b>An international bestseller!</b><br> <br><b>From the <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Sorcery of Thorns </i>and <i>An Enchantment of Ravens </i>comes a thrilling, “dark coming-of-age adventure” (<i>Culturess</i>) about a teen girl with mythic abilities who must defend her world against restless spirits of the dead.</b><br><br>The spirits of the dead do not rest.<br> <br>Artemisia is training to be a Gray Sister, a nun who cleanses the bodies of the deceased so that their souls can pass on; otherwise, they will rise as ravenous, hungry spirits. She would rather deal with the dead than the living, who whisper about her scarred hands and troubled past.<br> <br>When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia defends it by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a saint’s relic. It is a revenant, a malevolent being whose extraordinary power almost consumes her—but death has come, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has any chance of stopping it. With all knowledge of vespertines lost to time, Artemisia turns to the last remaining expert for help: the revenant itself.<br> <br>As she unravels a sinister mystery of saints, secrets, and dark magic, Artemisia discovers that facing this hidden evil might require her to betray everything she believes—if the revenant doesn’t betray her first.
