Tea's life, and the fate of the kingdoms, hang in the balance as the Dark grows in her day by day. Tea is a bone witch. Her dark magic can raise the dead, and she has used this magic to breathe life into those she has loved and lost -- and those who would join her army against the deceitful royals. But Tea's quest to conjure a shadowglass, which would grant immortality for the one person she loves most in the world, threatens to consume her heart. When she is left with new blood on her hands, Tea must answer to a power greater than she's ever known. -- adapted from jacket
