Remote, fanatical, and superstitious, the holy city is held tight in the vice-like grip of a centuries-long vampire panic. The local Archbishop, Cyril, has devoted his life to snuffing out this sacrilegious source of Windermere’s woes.Not content with spitting in the face of death, the vampires too bewitch the living. Blood that is euphoric and addictive in equal measure flows like liquor down the throats of the bold and the foolish. With every addict, the vampires’ hold over the city tightens.Beset by doubt from both within and without the cathedral walls, Cyril must struggle to retain his political influence over a fractured city, religious control over his suspicious faithful, and spiritual control over his own – supposedly unbending – faith.And as the church’s well-kept secrets threaten to crawl into the light, Cyril must either find answers, or write them himself.

As it begins, the dead cannot be buried. Until the ice thaws and ground can be broken, the dead must wait. Few know this better than the Hunters of Our Lady as they prepare for the most vile peril of the season: opportunistic vampires. As the snow piles higher, the Hunters must keep watch over the dead - and leave the Royal Guard to handle the living.For the city, a new arrival from the South screams of coming change; of danger and defiance to the Lady's harsh laws. An alchemist knows many things, and Domingo suspects his alchemist will know what to make of the Archbishop's magic - and of the peculiar girl so suffused with it.With the clergy more suspicious than ever before, Brontë only wishes to hide away from them, and from the world as it comes ripping and tearing through the cathedral's gates.But as the clergy one by one begin to succumb to a strange illness, Brontë begins to realize that even Cyril is only human - and that, terrifyingly, her beloved Archbishop cannot possibly protect her from everything.
