The Razorbill publication released it in 2018. Revis has mentioned the main characters in this book in the form of Nedra Brysstain, Greggori Astor, and several others. The setting takes place on a fictional island called the Lunar Island. Initially, Nedra Brysstain is introduced as a 17-year old girl living in the northern, rural regions of Lunar Island. She leaves her home to join the Yugen Academy and learn all the trades of medicinal alchemy. As she is the only student to join the academy with a scholarship, she does not blend well with the other matriculating children belonging to the most powerful and wealthiest families.

Nedra feels that she doesn’t fit at Yugen as the other students look at her with hatred and dislike. Greggori Astor is the only one who doesn’t behave with Nedra like others. His friends call him Grey. He finds himself immediately taken by the stubborn and brilliant Nedra Brysstain, who keeps herself immersed in her studies. It is important for all the students to study hard because the northern regions have been swept by a deadly plague, which is now headed in the direction of the cities. As the lives of her family members and all the other citizens of Lunar Island is put under risk, Nedra Brysstain is determined to find the plague’s cure. As the days pass by, Nedra and Grey grow closer.

With the spreading of the sickness and the increase in the body count, Nedra tries desperately to find the cure. She finds herself in the most dangerous corners of the alchemy and decides to attempt the forbidden practice of necromancy. Grey tries to stop her from doing so as it would endanger her own life, but Nedra doesn’t listen to him. She is more concerned about the well-being of the citizens than her life. Grey stands by her side throughout to pull her out from darkness if she gets stuck.

This novel opens by showing that Nedra Brysstain has turned into a necromancer and set the Lunar Island in the course of healing. Her efforts have helped to eradicate the plague, but it has forced her to embrace darkness. As the healing process speeds up, Allyrian Empire’s leader, Emperor Auguste, decides to remove necromancy completely from the island. Grey finds himself in a dilemma because if chooses to side with Auguste’s plans, it will endanger the life of Nedra Brysstain, whom he loves very much. As he feels that he has already failed once to save her, Grey is willing to take that chance again.

On the other hand, Nedra is trying very hard to keep her revenants’ army under control, which is growing inhuman with each passing day. Finally, Nedra & Grey come together to face an even more dangerous adversary. If they don’t succeed, Grey fears that Nedra will be pushed to her necromantic powers’ darkest depths. Nedra is filled with the guilt of keeping the souls of the revenants imprisoned, but knows that there is no other option. She tries to find a way to free them as her sister is one among them and she does not want to lose her.
