I was incredibly impressed and pleasantly surprised by this novel. *I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review* Odessa is forced to contemplate a terrifying question: What if her magic is the weapon that brings the kingdom to its knees?įighting alongside her fellow mages–and a powerful girl as enthralling as she is infuriating–Odessa must untangle the gruesome plot to destroy Karthia before the Shades take everything she loves. Soon, a crushing loss of one of her closest companions leaves Odessa shattered, and reveals a disturbing conspiracy in Karthia: Someone is intentionally creating Shades by tearing shrouds from the Dead–and training them to attack.
If even a hint of flesh is exposed, a grotesque transformation begins, turning the Dead into terrifying, bloodthirsty Shades.Ī dramatic uptick in Shade attacks raises suspicions and fears around the kingdom. But there is a cost to being raised: the Dead must remain shrouded. Whenever a noble dies, it’s Odessa’s job to raise them by retrieving their soul from a dreamy and dangerous shadow world called the Deadlands.
Odessa is one of Karthia’s master necromancers, catering to the kingdom’s ruling Dead.
