Krátky popis
Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all. London, 1883.The Veil
between the living and dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums
commune with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker
Society, and sixteen-year-old Silas Bell would rather rip out his
violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. According to
Mother, he'll be married by the end of the year.It doesn't matter
that he's needed a decade of tutors to hide his autism, that he
practices surgery on slaughtered pigs, that he is a boy, not the
girl the world insists on seeing. After a failed attempt to escape
an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with Veil sickness-a
mysterious disease sending violet-eyed women into madness-and
shipped away to Braxton's Sanitorium and Finishing School. The
facility is cold, the instructors merciless, and the students
either bloom into eligible wives or disappear.So when the ghosts of
missing students start begging Silas for help, he decides to reach
into Braxton's innards and expose its rotten guts to the world-as
long as the school doesn't break him first.
