"The third standalone novel set in Molly Tanzer's magic-infused universe takes readers to World War II-era England where two young women are studying witchcraft. Though once inseparable, competition, secrets, and wildly dangerous magic set them at odds and draw them to terrifying ends"-- Provided by publisher. In the waning days of World War II, with Allied victory all but certain, desperate Nazi diabolists search for a demonic superweapon to turn the tide. A secluded castle somewhere in the south of Germany serves as a laboratory for experiments conducted upon human prisoners, experiments as vile as they are deadly. Tucked into the sleepy Cumbrian countryside lies the Library, the repository of occult knowledge for the Société des Éclairées, an international organization of diabolists. Jane Blackwood and Miriam Cantor prepare to undergo the Test that will determine their future as diabolists. The two will come face to face with unexpected truths that change everything they know about the war, the world, and most of all themselves. -- adapted from back cover
