Karou, a seventeen-year-old blue-haired art student living in Prague, was raised by chimaera — hybrid creatures who inhabit a magical workshop between worlds — and has always known her life is stranger than most. When seraphim begin scorching doorways shut across the globe and a beautiful, haunted angel named Akiva crosses her path in Marrakesh, Karou is pulled into an ancient and brutal war between chimaera and seraphim that holds the key to her own forgotten identity.
