One choice can save your life. One choice can cost your soul.
Olivia Sinclair never asked for sanctuary in the North Tower, and she certainly didn't ask for the infection humming in her marrow. Trapped in a world of cold stone and leaden secrets, she is a vibrant spark in a place designed to snuff her out.
As the Vesperthorns close in and the lines between "God" and "Monster" are rubbed raw, Olivia must navigate the predatory darkness of those who claim to be her protectors. While a hidden evil weaves a web of stolen light around her, she realizes the greatest battle isn't against the infection—it’s against the loss of her own humanity.
In a world where goodness is a liability, Olivia must decide if her morals are worth the price of her freedom.
A haunting gothic tale of alchemy, moral courage, and the savage cost of a peaceful life.

This was an amazing story with Olivia and Caspian. Right from the very beginning it pulls you and keeps you turning the pages. So intriguing with beautiful world building. I was completely immersed and can’t wait to read the next one.

This book has so much potential to become more than a starting point. The two main characters are relatable and interesting. The background is astonishing and grabbing. The story is there except for around 70% into it there was redundancy but it ended quite well. It left me wanting more so I hope there’s a sequel. Looking forward to reading more from this author.
