From Paula Brackston, the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch s Daughter and The Winter Witch, comes a magical tale that is as dark as it is enchanting. Set in high society Edwardian England, a young witch faces the choice between love and loyalty to her covenThe dead are seldom silent. All that is required for them to be heard is that someone be willing to listen. I have been listening to the dead all my life.
Lady Lilith Montgomery is the daughter of the sixth Duke of Radnor. She is one of the most beautiful young women in London and engaged to the city s most eligible bachelor. She is also a witch. When her father dies, her hapless brother Freddie takes on his title. But it is Lilith who inherits their father s role as Head Witch of the Lazarus Coven.
