"The Abbey has controlled the minds of its patrons for a millennium through memory magic, stolen from exiled saints. At fifteen, Judewas exiled from the Abbey to the bleak moors in the countryside, tomaintain their control over his bourgeoning magic. Almost a decade later, he wants to live a normal life free from the Abbey's oppressive gaze. When they send Maeve, a stubbornly devout iconographer, to paint an updated icon of him, Jude makes it his mission to get rid of her as soon as possible. That is until he discovers she holds the same tainted magic of the saints as he does, and that the icons she paints may be the key to destroying the Abbey's power. As Jude and Maeve draw closer, the two of them face a choice--they can take on the full power of the Abbey and risk their lives for freedom or escapeback to exile and make the most of their fading memories. But this institution has eyes everywhere, and the only thing the Abbey loves more than a saint is a martyr"--
