“Starling captivates and horrifies by turn in this intricately plotted, deliciously bonkers secondary world gothic fantasy… Starling’s magic system is so spookily and fully realized, and the final twist so brilliantly turns the novel on its head, that even the most skeptical will be won over. This proves impossible to put down.”–Publishers Weekly, starred review
