Descriere Weavingshaw - Heba Al-wasity

In this debut gothic fantasy, a young woman who can see the dead strikes a deal with the magnetic and dangerous Saint of Silence, a purveyor of dark secrets, to save her brother's life--the first book of a trilogy. \nThree years ago, Leena Al-Sayer awoke with a terrible power. \n \nShe can see the dead. \n \nSince then, she has hidden herself away from the world, knowing that if she ever reveals her curse she will be locked up in an asylum. \n \nWhen her beloved brother, Rami, falls fatally ill, Leena is faced with a terrible choice: Let him die or buy the expensive medicine that will save his life by bartering the only valuable thing she has--her secret. \n \nThe Saint of Silence, a ruthless merchant who trades in confessions and is shrouded in unearthly rumors of cruelty and power, accepts her bargain, for a deadly price. Leena must find the ghost of Percival Avon, the last lord of Weavingshaw--or lose her freedom to the Saint forever. \n \nAs Leena's search takes her and the Saint to Weavingshaw, she finds the estate and the surrounding moors to be living things--hungry for blood and sacrifice. Fighting against Weavingshaw's might, Leena must also fight her growing pull toward the enigmatic Saint himself, whose connection to Percival Avon remains a mystery. \n \nAs the house begins to entomb them, time is running out on their desperate hunt for answers. \n \nFor Leena has come to see that here in Weavingshaw, the dead are not hushed--and some secrets are better left buried with them.\n
