For centuries, generations of Everlys have seen their brightest and best disappear, taken as punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one understands. Their tormentor is a woman named Penelope, who never ages, never grows sick - and never forgives a debt. Ten years ago, Violet Everly's mother left, determined to break their curse, and never returned. Now Violet must find her mother, or she will be taken in her place. To do so, she must descend into a seductive magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods and monsters bent on revenge.

LE MALEDIZIONI SONO FATTE PER ESSERE SPEZZATE. Una maledizione può essere molte cose. Per gli Everly tutto è iniziato con la polvere di stelle. C’è un prezzo da pagare per sopravvivere, Violet Everly. È solo questione di decidere quale. Per secoli, gli Everly hanno visto i migliori e più brillanti membri della loro famiglia scomparire, presi come il prezzo da pagare per un crimine che nessuno ricorda, per uno scopo che nessuno comprende. La loro aguzzina è una donna di nome Penelope, che non invecchia, non si ammala e non dimentica mai un torto.

Written by a group of friends, Seven Holy Women is a one-of-a-kind journey into the lives of seven women saints. Each section of the book includes a story from one saint’s life told vividly and imaginatively in the second person, additional information about the saint to give her context, a reflection on ways the writer, listener, and saint intersect on their journeys, personal surveys for the listener and a friend to complete, and a journal prompt that encourages the listener to explore and document her encounter with themes from the saint’s life.

Les Everly sont maudits depuis des siècles. À chaque génération, le membre le plus prometteur de la famille est voué à disparaître, en réparation d'un crime dont nul ne se souvient. Celle qui vient les chercher, la mystérieuse et glaçante Penelope, ne connaît ni la vieillesse ni la maladie. Et pour elle, une dette est une dette.

Seit Jahrhunderten lastet ein Fluch auf der Familie Everly: Ihre schönsten und klügsten Kinder werden von der mysteriösen Penelope mitgenommen, als Sühne für ein Verbrechen, an das sich niemand mehr erinnern kann. Violet Everly war zehn, als ihre Mutter Marianne verschwand. Nicht einmal Penelope kann sie aufspüren, und so stellt sie Violet ein Ultimatum: Sie hat zehn Jahre Zeit, um Marianne zu finden. Schafft sie es nicht, holt sich Penelope stattdessen Violet. Ihre Suche führt Violet durch ganz Europa – und in eine andere, geheime, magische Welt voller Götter und Monster.
