A city built by Saints. A bell that should never ring. A nightmare unleashed.
Mina Strauss has spent her life guarding the bells of Vaiwyn—a city that breathes, bleeds, and remembers. Her family’s legacy is clear: never let the Vespers ring, or a slumbering evil will awaken. But when Mina’s bell peals thirteen times, the city turns against its people. Statues tear free from their plinths, gargoyles hunt through the streets, and a long-imprisoned Saint hides among the citizens, corrupting everything in his path.
To stop the bloodshed, Mina must find and destroy the Saint’s host. But with the city collapsing around her, no one is above suspicion—including those she loves most.
Inspired by Prague’s eerie legends, What Wakes the Bells is a gothic fantasy masterpiece perfect for fans of Adalyn Grace, Margaret Rogerson, and V.E. Schwab.
