About author(s): Margaret Rogerson is the author of the New York Times bestsellers An Enchantment of Ravens and Sorcery of Thorns .
And when a hidden evil begins to surface, she discovers that facing this enemy might require her to betray everything she has been taught to believe--if the revenant doesn\'t betray her first.
As she unravels a sinister mystery of saints, secrets, and dark magic, her bond with the revenant grows.
With all knowledge of vespertines lost to time, Artemisia turns to the last remaining expert for help: the revenant itself.
Wielding its extraordinary power almost consumes her--but death has come to Loraille, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has any chance of stopping it.
It is a revenant, a malevolent being that threatens to possess her the moment she drops her guard.
When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia defends it by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a saint\'s relic.
She would rather deal with the dead than the living, who trade whispers about her scarred hands and troubled past.
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 spirits with a ravenous hunger for the living.
The dead of Loraille do not rest.
