Ines Vael has told one lie for three years, and it has never once cost her anything. Then a bishop's mender pulls her into a hidden order of monks and nuns who can see what feeds on what a soul refuses to confess, and Ines discovers she has more to hide than she thought.

When the marsh's ancient hosts start clawing at the city wall, every defense the order has ever trusted starts to fail, because these creatures do not feed on flesh. They feed on what is buried. And the deepest nest of all may be buried in Ines.

If the truth would make her one of the monsters she's sworn to fight, can she afford to tell it, even to save the people who trust her most?

The Court of Vipers is the first novel in the Seven Mansions series, a Catholic-rooted progression fantasy inspired by St. Teresa of Avila's classic map of the soul, The Interior Castle.

The wall is failing. Only Ines knows why. And she is running out of time to decide whether to say so.
