Katherine Arden

Beloved and best-selling Vermont author Katherine Arden throws a publication party for The Warm Hands of Ghosts, her first adult novel since her acclaimed Winternight trilogy, at Burlington’s Phoenix Books. Set in and around the hellish trenches of World War I, the historical fantasy follows a soldier who survives the battlefield only to fall in with a mysterious hotelier who promises blissful oblivion. The soldier’s sister, a former field nurse, comes looking for him and finds the trenches more haunted than she ever could have imagined. Ticket holders get $3 off an exclusive signed copy.
