“Gorgeously gruesome . . . reads like the gory bones of a forgotten folktale.”—Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushiel’s Legacy series on Innamorata

Once there was a kingdom riven by doomed love: The forbidden affair between Prince Liuprand and Agnes, scion of the House of Teeth, ended in strife, tragedy, and death.

But death is not yet done with the kingdom: Liuprand lives, and his love for Agnes lives within him, and he will do anything to sit the throne with his fallen queen.

In the black peaks of her ancestral home, Marozia names herself queen. Consumed by grief for Agnes and by her unfettered ambition, she seeks out a dark, ancient power that may cost more than she is prepared to give.

In the east, Gamelyn, master of the House of Blood, is determined to right the injustices that have been committed against him. Bound to his destiny, he will endure profane ritual and face soul-shattering trials to forge himself into the sword that will either tear the realm further apart—or bind it again through blood.

Because in a kingdom whose legacy is necromancy and whose future is written in dread prophecy, death is never the end—and fate is illuminated by the cold light of resurrection.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A decadently dark gothic fantasy for readers who love “haunting atmospheres, morally tangled characters, and stories where love becomes doom” (Booklist, starred review), the first in a duology from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of A Study in Drowning and Lady Macbeth

“Gorgeously gruesome . . . reads like the gory bones of a forgotten folktale.”—Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushiel’s Legacy series

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.
