Between Flowers and Bones by Carolyn Leilogloun (The Restorationists #2)

In a world where paintings transform into gateways and adventure hides behind every brushstroke, young Restorationists are discovering that each unique Gift was designed to push back against the darkness in the second gripping novel of this series by the award-winning author of Beneath the Swirling Sky.

“Packed with action [and] a gentle charm . . . a thoughtfully researched story grounded in strong morals.”—Kirkus Reviews

Twelve-year-old Georgia always believed she’d be the final Restorationist defending art from sinister forces. But when her cousin Vincent steps into the family legacy, she’s thrilled—until his dazzling Gift makes her feel more like a sidekick than a hero.

As Vincent plunges headfirst into danger, the pressure mounts, and tensions rise within the Restorationists’ ranks. Can Georgia’s own Gift hold up against the Distortionists' threats and keep her family, the art world, and the Restorationist legacy intact? The fate of them all rests in her hands.
