The stunning fourth novel in the New York Times bestselling Bone Season series, now updated with the author’s preferred text and a gorgeous new design. Paige Mahoney has eluded death again. Snatched from the jaws of captivity and sent to a safe house in the Scion Citadel of Paris, she finds herself caught between factions that seek Scion’s downfall and those who would kill to protect the puppet empire. The mysterious Domino Program has plans for Paige, but she has ambitions of her own in this new citadel. With Arcturus at her side, she embarks on an adventure that will lead her from the catacombs of Paris to the glittering hallways of Versailles. As Scion widens its bounds and the free world trembles in its shadow, Paige strives to understand her bond with Arcturus, which grows stronger by the day. But there are those who know the revolution began with them—and could end with them . . .

The Mask Falling

Rachel Livingston

He must have reasoned that the more I opened my heart to him, the deeper he could drive the knife. 

He had been right. Even now I knew the truth, the memory of that night made me ache for his touch again. He was a poltergeist, haunting me from wherever he was now, and his phantom hands still held me close, held me prisoner. 

Except that I didn't feel alive. Not fully. Part of me had been swallowed into that hall of stained-glass windows, entombed there like a queen of old. 

Above us, the colossal tower, emberlight against the dark. Below, the hidden world that sheltered the forsaken. And I walked liminal between them, with a god at my side and the streets like dying coals around us, waiting to be stoked. The fire was in the citadel, in his eyes, in my skin. 

I was a ghost untethered from it's haunt.
