Description

Nadya doesn't trust her magic anymore. Serefin is fighting off a voice in his head that doesn't belong to him. Malachiasz is at war with who-and what-he's become. As their group is continually torn apart, the girl, the prince, and the monster find their fates irrevocably intertwined. They're pieces on a board, being orchestrated by someone. or something. The voices that Serefin hears in the darkness, the ones that Nadya believes are her gods, the ones that Malachiasz is desperate to meet-those voices want a stake in the world, and they refuse to stay quiet any longer. In her dramatic follow-up to Wicked Saints, the first book in her Something Dark and Holy trilogy, Emily A. Duncan paints a Gothic, icy world where shadows whisper and no one is who they seem, with a shocking ending that will leave you breathless.
