    "description": "<p>From the author of Sing Me Forgotten comes a lush new fantasy novel with an art-based magic system, romance, and murder&hellip;<br />Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to control: she&rsquo;s a portrait artist whose paintings alter people&rsquo;s bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night, the governor&rsquo;s wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would resurrect the governor's dead son.<br />Once she arrives at the legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy&rsquo;s death was no accident. A killer stalks these halls--one disturbingly obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor&rsquo;s older son for help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life concealing makes her the killer&rsquo;s next victim.</p>",
