A world of winter ...
A sinister religious order ...
A strange old wise man and a teacher who seems scarcely human :
This is the world of Esmerelda Midnight.
Adanica has entered a 'Great Winter' after being blasted by St Tarcissian's 'avenging fire' in the Great War...
The religious women known as the Sestren hold sway, keeping the orphaned children of dead rebels in harsh orphanages where they train them as servants and slaves.
The Sestren pretend they are bringing about an era of high morals and spiritual purity.
Instead they are preparing for 'The Feast.'...
Young Esmerelda Midnight, lowest ranking of all the orphans and a plain, shy, gauche girl, finds herself, against her will and all good sense, pitted against the Sestren's might.
She must liaise with the outlawed Wistren, the old magic workers of Adanica - she must find what they seek - the lost Rose of the World.
