In the rain-shrouded cathedral city of Venyre, the dead are never buried without a face.
Elodie, one of the last mourning sculptors, has spent her life preserving the likenesses of the departed in sacred wax. But when the Church summons her to restore a mutilated effigy hidden beneath the cathedral, she awakens something long buried - a beautiful ruined man named Sebastian.
As his body mends beneath her hands, terrible truths begin to surface. The city's sacred wax memorials were never acts of mercy, but vessels built from desecration. And the heart that could make Sebastian whole may already be beating inside Elodie's chest.
Darkly romantic, haunting, and lush with gothic atmosphere, The Sculptor is a story of grief, devotion, and a love that dares to return the dead to themselves.
