Perfect for you if...

You want slow-burn romance with genuine stakes, where the love interests are obstacles as much as they are attractions.
You love court politics and scheming heroines who survive through wit and self-control, not just magical power.
You're drawn to forbidden magic systems where the protagonist must hide who they really are to stay alive.

Maybe not for you if...

You prefer standalone novels; this is book one of a trilogy with cliffhanger elements.
You're looking for a protagonist who reveals her secrets early and finds acceptance; Alissa's survival depends on secrecy.
You want romance to be the driving plot; the magic system and court intrigue are equally central to the story.

About this book

In the Kingdom of Daradon, Wielders possess a magical Spectre—a shimmering thread extending beyond their visible body that can caress, pick locks, or kill. Feared for this ability, Wielders are hunted and persecuted. Alissa Paine is an eighteen-year-old heiress from a Hunter family, but she is also a Wielder. She has survived execution only through strict self-control and her father's protection. Summoned to the royal court for debutante season, Alissa becomes entangled in court intrigue and betrayal. She finds herself caught between two dangerous men: a brutal ruler with a fairy-tale prince's face who would destroy her if he learned her secret, and a foreign ambassador with hidden agendas. As the threat of discovery increases and romance becomes tempting, Alissa must navigate her secrets and survival at the palace during Rose Season.
