A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK! "Astonishing and pristine,
the kind of debut I love to be devastated by, already so assured
and sophisticated that it's difficult to imagine where the author
can go from here. . . . It's simply a delight from start to
finish." - AMAL EL-MOHTAR, New York Times Book Review "Follow where
this novel leads and you will be lost in a bewitching spell, a book
of magic about books of magic . . . extraordinary." - MARLON JAMES
In this spellbinding debut novel, two estranged half-sisters tasked
with guarding their family's library of magical books must work
together to unravel a deadly secret at the heart of their
collection--a tale of familial loyalty and betrayal, and the
pursuit of magic and power. For generations, the Kalotay family has
guarded a collection of ancient and rare books. Books that let a
person walk through walls or manipulate the elements--books of
magic that half-sisters Joanna and Esther have been raised to
revere and protect. All magic comes with a price, though, and for
years the sisters have been separated. Esther has fled to a remote
base in Antarctica to escape the fate that killed her own mother,
and Joanna's isolated herself in their family home in Vermont,
devoting her life to the study of these cherished volumes. But
after their father dies suddenly while reading a book Joanna has
never seen before, the sisters must reunite to preserve their
family legacy. In the process, they'll uncover a world of magic far
bigger and more dangerous than they ever imagined, and all the
secrets their parents kept hidden; secrets that span centuries,
continents, and even other libraries . . . In the great tradition
of Ninth House, The Magicians, and Practical Magic, this is a
suspenseful and richly atmospheric novel that draws readers into a
vast world filled with mystery and magic, romance, and
intrigue--and marks the debut of an extraordinary new voice in
speculative fiction. "Ink Blood Sister Scribe is so many things at
once: an adventure, a puzzle, a twisty thriller, and a tender
romance. . . . I adored it." - ALIX E. HARROW "If, like me, you're
a fan of Holly Black and Leigh Bardugo, pick up this book at once."
