Doors open at 7. The sacrifice is at 9. The dress code is, as
usual, black tie. It's the winter solstice in a Philadelphia that
has been eroded by extreme weather, economic collapse, and
disease-carrying mosquitoes. The Saturnalia carnival is about to
begin - an evening on which nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets
their troubles for a moment. For Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel
reminder of the night that changed everything for her. It's now
three years since she walked away from the elite Saturn Club, with
its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking interest
in alchemy and the occult. Since then, she's led an isolated life,
eking out a living telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot
deck. But when she gets a chance call from Max, her last remaining
friend from the Saturn Club, Nina will put on a dress of blackest
black and attend the Club's wild solstice masquerade, the biggest
party of the year, on a mysterious errand she can't say no to.
Before the night is over, she will become the custodian of a
horrifying secret - and the target of a mysterious hunter. As Nina
runs across an alternate Philadelphia balanced on a knife's edge
between celebration and catastrophe - through parades, worship
houses, museums, hidden mansions, and the place she once called
home - she's forced to confront her past so she can finally take
charge of her own, and perhaps everyone else's, future.
