Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the nationally bestselling author of The Luminous Dead and The Death of Jane Lawrence comes a transfixing, atmospheric fever dream of medieval horror. Aymar Castle has been under siege for six months, with dwindling food supplies and no sign of rescue. Just as the survivors contemplate thinning their ranks, the castle's stores replenish, the sick are healed, and divine figures—the Constant Lady and her Saints—arrive, offering aid in exchange for worship. The castle soon falls under their influence, indulging in intoxicating feasts of ominous origin. War hero Ser Voyne pledges allegiance to the Constant Lady, while Phosyne, a paranoid nun-turned-sorceress, races to uncover the truth behind these visitors and defend her experiments as their source. Meanwhile, Treila, a serving girl, grapples with her desire for vengeance against Voyne and her need to flee the horrors within Aymar's walls. As the castle spirals into madness, forgetting the army outside in favor of hedonistic revelry, these three women remain aware of their dire situation. However, they are not immune to the temptations of their new masters or each other, leading to shifting alliances and violent confrontations. To save the castle and themselves, they must redefine their identities and reshape their world.
