Ink Blood Sister Scribe

Two estranged half-sisters entrusted with protecting their family's magical book library must band together in this captivating first novel to uncover a dangerous truth at the center of the collection—a story of treachery and familial devotion, as well as the quest for magic and power.

The Kalotay family has preserved an antique and rare book collection for many generations. Books of magic that allow one to pass through walls or control the elements are something that half-sisters Joanna and Esther have grown to respect and guard.

But there's a cost to all magic, and the sisters have been apart for years. Joanna has sequestered herself in their Vermont family home, dedicating her life to the study of these treasured books, while Esther has fled to a secluded station in Antarctica to avoid the destiny that took her own mother. To save their family heritage, the sisters must get back together when their father passes away unexpectedly while reading a book Joanna has never seen before. During the journey, they will discover a magical realm that is much greater and more perilous than they could have ever imagined. Additionally, they will unearth all the secrets their parents concealed, mysteries that cut across decades, countries, and even other libraries.
