Lore of Silver

??A STOLEN RELIC. A MISSING GIRL. A HORROR UNLEASHED.?? ?'History and enchantment woven in a seamless, intricate tapestry' Sarah Rees Brennan ? ? 'Intricately plotted and vividly imagined' M.A. Kuzniar ? Lyta is trying her best. She's determined to stay out of trouble, steer clear of her beloved Sylvian and the queen he is bound to serve, and-most importantly-not embarrass her brother Kit. So when Kit asks her to help the temple recover their stolen relics, Lyta can't say no. After all, who better to track down thieves than someone blessed by trickster god Ennin himself? But the search quickly leads her into conflict with the Blacksmiths' Guild-and when Sylvian steps in to protect her, staying away from palace politics becomes harder than Lyta ever imagined. Kit misses Ben. The scholar has been buried in a secretive project at the Blacksmiths' Guild, and their time together has dwindled to fleeting moments. But when a desperate search for Lord Alderton's missing sister pulls Kit deeper into that same shadowy world, he uncovers a conspiracy reaching far beyond one lost girl. Because when Lyta crossed the veil, she tore a hole in it. And now something vast and ancient is clawing its way into Amberes. Something so terrible, even the gods are afraid.
