"A compelling, fun, and thought-provoking story of magical
adventure, coming of age, sacrifice, and family, with secrets that
add a lingering darkness to the entire tale."-- Booklist Two young
witches, once inseparable, are set at odds by secrets and wildly
dangerous magic In the waning days of World War II, with Allied
victory all but certain, desperate Nazi diabolists search for a
demonic superweapon to turn the tide. A secluded castle somewhere
in the south of Germany serves as a laboratory for experiments
conducted upon human prisoners, experiments as vile as they are
deadly. Across the English Channel, tucked into the sleepy Cumbrian
countryside, lies the Library, the repository of occult knowledge
for the Societe des Eclairees, an international organization of
diabolists. There, best friends Jane Blackwood and Miriam Cantor,
tutored by the Societe's Librarian--and Jane's mother--Nancy,
prepare to undergo the Test that will determine their future as
diabolists. When Miriam learns her missing parents are suspected of
betraying the Societe to the Nazis, she embarks on a quest to clear
their names, a quest involving dangerous diabolic practices that
will demand more of her than she can imagine. Meanwhile Jane,
struggling with dark obsessions of her own, embraces a forbidden
use of the Art that could put everyone she loves in danger. As
their friendship buckles under the stress of too many secrets, Jane
and Miriam will come face to face with unexpected truths that
change everything they know about the war, the world, and most of
all themselves. After all, some choices cannot be unmade--and a
sacrifice made with the most noble intention might end up creating
a monster.
