Return to Deborah Hewitt's magical alternate London of the Rookery as the Nightjar series continues... After discovering her magical ability to see people's souls, Alice Wyndham only wants three things: to return to the Rookery, join the House Mielikki and master her magic, and find out who she really is. But when the secrets of Alice's past threaten her plans, and the Rookery begins to crumble around her, she must decide how far she's willing to go to save the city and people she loves. Superb, darkly charming.... It's a delight to explore the Rookery... --Publishers Weekly, starred review
