New York Times bestselling author Andrew Joseph Whites explosive gothic horror, set in an alternate Victorian England where mediums control the dead. Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all. London, 1883. The Veil between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society, and sixteen-year-old Silas Bell would rather rip out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. According to Mother, hell be married by the end of the year. It doesnt matter that hes needed a decade of tutors to hide his autism; that he practices surgery on slaughtered pigs; that he is a boy, not the girl the world insists on seeing. After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness--a mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness--and shipped away to Braxtons Sanitorium and Finishing School. The facility is cold, the instructors merciless, and the students either bloom into eligible wives or disappear. So when the ghosts of missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach into Braxtons innards and expose its rotten guts to the world--as long as the school doesnt break him first.Andrew Joseph White is a queer, trans author from Virginia, where he grew up falling in love with monsters and wishing he could be one too. He received his MFA in Creative Writing from George Mason University in 2022 and has a habit of cuddling random street cats. Andrew writes about trans kids with claws and fangs, and what happens when they bite back.Book specifications:Author: Andrew Joseph WhiteCover type: HardcoverPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 9Pages: 384Language: EnglishPublisher: Peachtree TeenWeight: 567 g
