Description

Ceony Twill arrives at the cottage of Magician Emery Thane with a broken heart and reluctant resignation—assigned to study paper magic when she dreamed of mastering metal. Under her enigmatic mentor's guidance, she discovers that paper magic holds wonders far beyond her expectations: animated creatures, ghostly narratives, and glimpses of the future. But when a dark Excisioner invades their sanctuary and tears Thane's heart from his chest, Ceony must venture into the impossible—traveling through the chambers of her teacher's still-beating heart to confront forbidden magic and save his life. This debut novel from Charlie N. Holmberg weaves together whimsy and darkness in an extraordinary adventure that explores the transformative power of magic and the depths of human connection.
