Vespertine, T1: Vespertine

The bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns and Enchantment of Ravens is back!

Enter the dark universe of Vespertine , and explore a world haunted by dangerous and fascinating ghosts…

The dead of Loraille do not rest in peace.

Artemisia is taught to become a Grey Sister, tasked with purifying the bodies of the dead so their souls can reach the afterlife; if they don’t, they rise again as vengeful spirits who prey on the living. A shadowy job that suits her perfectly: Artemisia prefers to deal with the dead rather than the living, who are wary of her burnt hands and troubled past.

When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia has no choice but to awaken an ancient spirit trapped in a relic. Calling upon the evil spirit’s extraordinary power threatens to consume her, but the evil spreads across Loraille, forcing the young girl to question everything she’s been taught. This revenant may be the only being who can help Artemisia defeat the enemy… if he doesn’t betray her first.
