The
cost of magic has never been clearer.
Larissa’s
inability to kill is a disgrace to her absent mother, Sword Matriarch
of the Fair Lady’s order, a sisterhood whose purpose is to hunt down
sorcerers corrupted by the Evercry and slay them. But Larissa hides
an even more sinful secret: she is drawn toward magic, and it grows
stronger in her every day.
Larissa keeps a stranglehold on her
gift until the day of her graduation test, when her misuse of magic
leads her to failure. Prepared to be cast out of the sisterhood, she
is instead brought into the scorned caste of the darkkins, those who
study and wield magic in the fight against the Evercry. In their
halls she discovers that her proclivity for magic makes her powerful,
and a little dangerous.
Gone for years, her mother suddenly
sends word that she needs help to defeat a formidable sorcerer, help
only Larissa can give. Larissa will do anything to save her mother,
even travel with the girl who bullied her all through school. But as
they battle monsters and mercenaries, Larissa must grapple with dark
truths about the sisterhood and her heritage, and decide who she can
really trust with her mother’s fate…and her own.

Neat theme to the new book.
