A blood-soaked and grotesque triumph that cuts like a scalpel and reads like your darkest nightmare. Mors vincit omnia. Death conquers all. London, 1883. The veil between the living and the dead has thinned. Violet-eyed mediums communicate with spirits under the watchful eye of the Royal Speaker Society. Sixteen-year-old transsexual, autistic Silas Bell would rather tear out his violet eyes than become an obedient Speaker wife. It doesn’t matter that he is a boy and not the girl the world insists on seeing in him. After a failed attempt to escape an arranged marriage, Silas is diagnosed with the Veil Sickness—a mysterious affliction that drives violet-eyed women to madness—and is sent to the Braxton Sanatorium. When the spirits of missing students plead for his help, he resolves to delve into Braxton's depths and reveal its innards to the world—provided the school doesn’t destroy him first.
