Overview
Inspired by an ominous Prague legend, What Wakes the Bells is a lavish gothic fantasy by debut author Elle Tesch that is perfect for fans of Adalyn Grace, Margaret Rogerson, and V.E. Schwab.
Built by long-gone Saints, the city of Vaiwyn lives and breathes and bleeds. As a Keeper, Mina knows better than most what her care of Vaiwynās bells means for the sentient city. Itās the Strauss familyās thousand-year legacyāprevent the Vespers from ringing, or they will awake a slumbering evil.
One afternoon, to Mina's horror, her bell peals thirteen times, shattering the cityās tenuous peace. With so much of the city's history and lore lost in a long-ago disaster, no one knows the danger that has been unleashedāuntil the city begins to fight back. As the sun sets, stone gargoyles and bronze statues tear away from their buildings and plinths to hunt people though the streets. Trapped in Minaās bell, the soul of a twisted and power-hungry Saint festered. Now free of his prison, he hides behind the face of one of Vaiwynās citizens, corrupting the city and turning it on itself.
Time is running out, and the only chance Mina has to stop the destruction and horrific killings is finding and destroying the Saintās host. Everyone is a suspect, including Mina's closest loved ones. She will have to decide how far sheāll go to save her cityāand who sheās willing to kill to do it.
