A true gothic romantasy that draws readers into the world of Katrin, who has grown up in high society but becomes an outcast when she is suddenly marked by death. With dark, inky markings etched on her skin, she must find a way to escape her fate. Her only protection lies with none other than the Ferrier of Souls, forcing Katrin to strike a deal that will save her life—but little does she know, this deal will change her life in unimaginable ways.

This book captivated my heart and soul! Fans of One Dark Window will find Backenstoe’s writing equally bewitching. The characters are wonderfully morally gray and so easy to fall in love with. I need more of Katrin and the Ferrier’s story and can hardly wait for book 2!

*Thank you to Elle Backenstoe for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.
