'All so good. I read it in two days flat, and wish I had spaced it out
more' ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ READER REVIEW
Beatrice is the convent's librarian. For years, she has shunned the
company of her sisters, finding solace only with her manuscripts.
Then, one carnival night, two women, bleeding and stricken, are
abandoned outside the convent's walls. Moments from death, one of them
presses something into Beatrice's hands: a bewitching book whose pages
have a dangerous life of their own.
But men of the faith want the book destroyed, and a zealous preacher has
tracked it to her door. Her sisters' lives - or her obsession. Beatrice
must decide.
The book's voice is growing stronger.
An ancient power uncoils.
Will she dare to listen?
