Jetta Chantray is a wanted criminal. Both the army and the rebels are looking for her, but not for her crimes-for her power. With a drop of blood, Jetta can capture wayward souls and animate puppets, or rocks, or letters-or weapons. But what of the crimes Jetta cannot forgive herself for? Trapping her dying brother's soul back in his body. Releasing a tyrannical and terrifying necromancer from his prison. Scaring off the one young man who saw who she really is. Jetta could be the key to tipping the scales in this war. But first she must discover the true extent of her magic. She must confront the darkness in her enemies, her allies, and even within herself before everything burns down.
