The Author Of The Visionary New York Times Bestseller Dread Nation Returns With Another Spellbinding Historical Fantasy Set At The Crossroads Of Race And Power In America.

A Talented Young Queer Mage From Pennsylvania, Laura Hopped A Portal To New York City On Her Seventeenth Birthday With Hopes Of Earning Her Mage's License And Becoming Something More Than A Rootworker. But Four Months Later, She's Got Little To Show For It Other Than An Empty Pocket And Broken Dreams. With Nowhere Else To Turn, Laura Applies For A Job With The Bureau Of The Arcane's Conservation Corps, A Branch Of The Us Government Dedicated To Repairing The Dynamism So That Mechomancy Can Thrive. There She Meets The Skylark, A Powerful Mage With A Mysterious Past, Who Reluctantly Takes Laura On As An Apprentice. As They're Sent Off On Their First Mission Together Into The Heart Of The Country's Oldest And Most Mysterious Blight, They Discover The Work Of Mages Not Encountered Since The Darkest Period In America's Past, When Black Mages Were Killed For Their Power--work That Could Threaten Laura's And The Skylark's Lives, And Everything They've Worked For.
