Jessamin has been an outcast since she moved from her island home of Melei to the dreary country of Albion. Everything changes when she meets the gorgeous, enigmatic Finn, who introduces her to the secret world of Albion's nobility. It’s a world that has everything Jessamin doesn't—power, money, status . . . and magic. But Finn has secrets of his own, and the vicious Lord Downpike will do anything to possess them. Unless Jessamin, armed only with her wits, can stop him.

Readers who love Libba Bray, Cassanda Clare, or Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell won’t want to miss this captivating stand-alone novel.

Ratings and reviews

Not without its faults but a likable tale with enough action to keep the reader interested, and a solid romance, with a great ending. I was a bit shocked when the ending was the ending, because I felt like I needed longer on this journey.

So enjoyable. Read it over two plane rides. Great story, compelling characters and any expected twist.

So good I'm am still not done so amazingly wonderful
