Not all books should be opened. A spellbinding, edge-of your seat
thriller, Ink Blood Sister Scribe follows a family tasked with
guarding a trove of magical but deadly books, and the shadowy
organisation that will do anything to get them back . . . even
murder. 'Follow where this novel leads and you will be lost in a
bewitching spell, a book of magic about books of magic, and the
people who reel from reading them. Go beyond the magic and you're
left with a heartbreaking tale of family where truth blurs with
lies, and blood isn't thick enough. A bold, new novel from an
extraordinary new voice.' Marlon James, New York Times bestselling
author of Black Leopard, Red Wolf ____________ Joanna Kalotay lives
alone in the woods of Vermont, the sole protector of a collection
of rare books; books that will allow someone to walk through walls
or turn water into wine. Books of magic. Her estranged older sister
Esther moves between countries and jobs, constantly changing, never
staying anywhere longer than a year, desperate to avoid the deadly
magic that killed her mother. Currently working on a research base
in Antarctica, she has found love and perhaps a sort of happiness.
But when she finds spots of blood on the mirrors in the research
base, she knows someone is coming for her, and that Joanna and her
collection are in danger. If they are to survive, she and Joanna
must unravel the secrets their parents kept hidden from them -
secrets that span centuries and continents, and could cost them
their lives ... ____________ 'A magnificent debut. Magical books,
estranged sisters, enchanted mirrors and a nefarious family
organisation orm the pacey plot of Emma Törzs' fantasy thriller
début.' The Bookseller 'Emma Törzs seamlessly meshes together
fantasy, thriller and dark academia to bring us a spectacularly
spellbinding debut ... Ink Blood Sister Scribe sumptuously bleeds
magic from every page.' The Fantasy Hive 'Chilling and charming in
equal parts, Törz's debut is a love letter to stories everywhere.'
Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Tale
of the Flower Bride 'Ink Blood Sister Scribe is itself a magical
book, brimming with all the elements that make a story sing ...
What a gorgeously satisfying read.' Lesley Nneka Arimah,
award-winning author of What It Means When a Man Falls from the Sky
'A twisty and thrilling fantasy in which both the magic and the
characters have real complexity, real shadows.' Kelly Link, Get in
Trouble 'Ink Blood Sister Scribe is so many things at once: an
adventure, a puzzle, a twisty thriller, and a tender romance.' Alix
E Harrow, The Once And Future Witches
