"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Goodreads Description:
A visionary and atmospheric gothic fantasy about
necromancy, vengeance, and soul-consuming love, the first in a duology
from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and
Lady Macbeth
Once there was an island where the dead walked the earth, and seven noble houses ruled by the arcane secrets of necromancy.
A conqueror’s blade brought them low, burning their libraries, killing their lords, and extinguishing their eldritch magic.
But
defiant against the new order stands the House of Teeth and its last
living members: beautiful Marozia, the heiress to the House, and her
cousin, the uncanny Lady Agnes.
Though she has not spoken a word
in seven years, Agnes is the true carrier of the House’s legacy. And she
has her orders. She must recapture the secrets of death magic and
avenge her family’s fallen honor. She must arrange the betrothal of her
beloved cousin Marozia to Liuprand, heir to the conqueror’s throne, for
access to the forbidden library in his grotesquely grand castle.
Revenge
burns in Agnes’s heart but so do stranger passions—and it is Liuprand,
the golden prince, who speaks to her soul. This passion is as treasonous
as it is powerful, poisoning the kingdom’s roots and threatening to
tear the already shattered realm in two.
For Agnes’s final order is the gravest: She must not fall in love.
Format: 560 pages, Hardcover
