VESPERTINE - MARGARET ROGERSON KARTONIERT (TB)

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. 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  otherwise  they will rise as twisted spirits with a ravenous hunger for the
living. 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. Yet the age
of vespertines has passed  their knowledge and training lost with time. 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?
