520    "The Saturnalia carnival marks three years since Nina 
       walked away from Philadelphia's elite Saturn Club--with 
       its genteel debauchery, arcane pecking order, and winking 
       interest in alchemy and the occult. In doing so, she 
       abandoned her closest friends and her chance to climb the 
       social ladder. Since then, she's eked out a living by 
       telling fortunes with her Saturn Club tarot deck, a solemn
       initiation gift that Nina always considered a gag but has 
       turned out to be more useful than she could have ever 
       imagined. For most, the Saturnalia carnival marks a brief 
       winter reprieve for the beleaguered people of the historic
       city, which is being eroded by extreme weather, a 
       collapsing economy, and feverish summers--whose disease 
       carrying mosquitos are perhaps the only thing one can 
       count on. Like Thanksgiving or Halloween, Saturnalia has 
       become a purely American holiday despite its pagan roots; 
       and nearly everyone, rich or poor, forgets their troubles 
       for a moment. For Nina, Saturnalia is simply a cruel 
       reminder of the night that changed everything for her. But
       when she gets a chance call from Max, one of the Saturn 
       Club's best-connected members and her last remaining 
       friend, the favor he asks will plunge her back into the 
       Club's wild solstice masquerade, on a mysterious errand 
       she cannot say no to. Tonight, Nina will put on a dress of
       blackest black, and attend the biggest party of the year. 
       Before it's over, she will discover secret societies 
       battling for power in an increasingly precarious world and
       become custodian of a horrifying secret--and the target of
       a mysterious hunter. As Nina runs across an alternate 
       Philadelphia balanced on a knife's edge between 
       celebration and catastrophe, through parades, worship 
       houses, museums, hidden mansions, and the place she once 
       called home, she's forced to confront her past in order to
       take charge of her own--and perhaps everyone's--future"--
