Ink Blood Sister Scribe

For ages, the Kalotay lineage has been the keeper of an extraordinary library—a trove of arcane literature with powers unfathomable. These are tomes that defy the laws of nature, allowing one to dissolve into the ether or command the very elements—these are the venerable books of sorcery. Half-sisters Joanna and Esther Kalotay have been bequeathed this sanctified duty, brought up to both venerate and safeguard these mystical works. Yet magic exacts its toll, and the Kalotays have paid dearly. Haunted by a legacy that claimed their mother's life, the sisters find themselves estranged: Esther seeking refuge in the frozen solitude of Antarctica to elude a predestined demise, and Joanna sequestered in their ancestral Vermont estate, her existence entwined with the revered tomes. Their father's abrupt death—shrouded in mystery by a tome unfamiliar even to Joanna—becomes the catalyst for the sisters' reunion. As they converge to uphold the Kalotay heritage, they unwittingly step into an expansive realm of enchantment that transcends their wildest lore. The sisters embark on a quest that will not only expose the clandestine history and sprawling sagas their progenitors concealed but also plunge them into the heart of a magic-laden reality, brimming with peril and wonder, that spans time, traverses continents, and unveils the esoteric corridors of other bibliothecas. In a narrative vein akin to the spellbinding allure of "Ninth House," the enchanting depth of "The Magicians," and the heart-stirring mystique of "Practical Magic," this novel weaves a tapestry of suspense and atmospheric fantasy. It invites readers into a universe saturated with enigma and sorcery, love entangled with secrecy, beckoning as the herald of a prodigious new talent in the realm of speculative storytelling.
