From the nationally bestselling author of The Luminous Dead and The Death of Jane Lawrence comes a haunting medieval horror novel set in a castle under siege.
After six months cut off from the outside world, the people of Aymar Castle are starving and running out of hope. Then, against all reason, mysterious divine figures known as the Constant Lady and her Saints appear, replenishing food stores, healing the sick, and demanding only devotion in return. As the castle's inhabitants surrender to their miraculous saviors and indulge in lavish feasts of terrible origin, the line between salvation and damnation begins to blur.
Only three women—a battle-hardened knight, a paranoid nun-turned-sorceress, and a servant driven by vengeance—begin to question the true nature of their visitors. As the castle descends into madness, cannibalism, and religious fervor, they must uncover the horrifying truth before everything they know is consumed.
A richly atmospheric blend of medieval fantasy, psychological horror, and dark religious fiction, perfect for readers who enjoy unsettling, thought-provoking stories.
