Artemisia doesn’t like people much after her family kept her locked in a shed. She is rescued by the Grey Nuns who realize she is possessed by a demon and exorcise her. Although Artemisia would choose to spend her life with them, she bravely defends the convent against invaders by allowing an ancient spirit to possess her once again and make her into a powerful vespertine. With no training and fighting against a powerful priest, Artemisia must depend on the demon for advice… Great start to the series! I flew through it and am looking forward to the next book. The relationship between Artemisia and her spirit was such fun as he reluctantly tried to care for her. Her friendship with Marguerite was touching to watch blossom. Thanks for the ARC Netgalley!
