From the New York Times bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens comes an “enthralling adventure” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about an apprentice at a magical library who must battle a powerful sorcerer to save her kingdom.
All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather.
Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire, and Elisabeth is implicated in the crime. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.
As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.

A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the faerie courts—even as she falls in love with a faerie prince—in this gorgeous bestseller that’s “an ideal pick for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
Isobel is an artistic prodigy with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes—a weakness that could cost him his life.
Furious, Rook spirits her away to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime. But something is seriously wrong in his world, and they are attacked from every side. With Isobel and Rook depending on each other for survival, their alliance blossoms into trust, then love—and that love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns and An Enchantment of Ravens comes a thrilling, “dark coming-of-age adventure” (Culturess) about a teen girl with mythic abilities who must defend her world against restless spirits of the dead.
The spirits of the dead do not rest.
Artemisia is training to be a Gray Sister, a nun who cleanses the bodies of the deceased so that their souls can pass on; otherwise, they will rise as ravenous, hungry spirits. She would rather deal with the dead than the living, who whisper about her scarred hands and troubled past.
When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia defends it by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a saint’s relic. It is a revenant, a malevolent being whose extraordinary power almost consumes her—but death has come, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has any chance of stopping it. With all knowledge of vespertines lost to time, Artemisia turns to the last remaining expert for help: the revenant itself.
As she unravels a sinister mystery of saints, secrets, and dark magic, Artemisia discovers that facing this hidden evil might require her to betray everything she believes—if the revenant doesn’t betray her first.
Pero un día el príncipe del otoño entra en su taller y, al retratarlo, comete un terrible error: plasma en sus ojos el dolor humano que percibe en su mirada, un rasgo que cualquiera de sus súbditos consideraría una debilidad.
Tras recibir el cuadro, el príncipe regresa convertido en cuervo y la acusa de traicionarlo ante su corte. La única manera de solucionarlo es que Isobel se adentre con él en las tierras del otoño para restaurar su reputación. No obstante, deberá tener cuidado: como afirman los elfos, siempre deseamos lo que tiene el poder de destruirnos.

Wenn es eine Sache gibt, die die 16-jährige Elisabeth weiß, dann: Alle Zauberer sind abgrundtief böse. Seit sie als Findelkind auf den Treppen einer der Großen Bibliotheken von Austermeer ausgesetzt wurde, ist sie zwischen magischen Grimoires großgeworden – Büchern, die in den Regalen flüstern, ihre Eisenketten zum Klirren bringen und sich in tödliche Monster aus Tinte und Papier verwandeln, wenn man sie provoziert. Als durch einen Sabotageakt das gefährlichste Grimoire der ganzen Bibliothek freikommt, wird Elisabeth die Schuld an seinem Ausbruch gegeben. Elisabeth bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als sich ausgerechnet an ihren Erzfeind zu wenden – den Zauberer Nathaniel Thorn. Zusammen mit ihm und seinem dämonischen Diener Silas findet sich Elisabeth bald im Fadenkreuz einer jahrhundertealten Verschwörung wieder. Und diese droht, nicht nur alle Großen Bibliotheken in Flammen aufgehen zu lassen, sondern die ganze Welt …
ED ELISABETH LO SA DA SEMPRE.
Trovatella allevata in una delle Grandi Biblioteche di Austermeer, è cresciuta in mezzo agli strumenti della stregoneria: grimori magici che sussurrano e sferragliano catene. Se provocati, si trasformano in mostri inquietanti di cuoio e di inchiostro. Ciò cui Elisabeth ambisce è diventare una guardiana, incaricata di proteggere il regno dalle minacce della magia.
Il suo disperato tentativo di impedire l'atto di sabotaggio che libera il grimorio più pericoloso della biblioteca finisce per ritorcersi contro di lei: ritenuta coinvolta nel crimine, viene condotta nella capitale, in attesa di interrogatorio. L'unica persona su cui può fare affidamento è il suo nemico di sempre, il Magister Nathaniel Thorn, con il suo misterioso servitore; ma tutto sembra intrappolarla in una congiura secolare, che potrebbe radere al suolo non solo le Grandi Biblioteche, ma anche il mondo intero.
A mano a mano che la sua alleanza con Nathaniel si rafforza, Elisabeth inizia a mettere in discussione tutto quello che le hanno insegnato sui maghi, sulle biblioteche che ama così tanto, e soprattutto su se stessa. Perché Elisabeth ha un potere che non avrebbe mai sospettato, e un destino che non avrebbe mai potuto immaginare.
Die 17-jährige Isobel ist eine begabte Porträtmalerin mit einer gefährlichen Klientel: das unheimliche Volk der Elfen; unsterbliche Wesen, die nichts erschaffen können, ohne zu Staub zu zerfallen. Doch als Isobel ihren ersten royalen Kunden empfängt – Rook, den Prinz des Herbstlandes – begeht sie einen fatalen Fehler. Sie malt den menschlichen Schmerz in seinen Augen – eine Schwäche, die Rook das Leben kosten könnte. Um sein Leben zu retten, müssen Isobel und Rook lernen, einander zu vertrauen. Doch als aus Vertrauen langsam Liebe wird, brechen die beiden ein Gesetz des Elfenvolkes, das gnadenlose Konsequenzen nach sich zieht …
