Falling in love with the other. A new Victorian-inspired romantasy, perfect for fans of Bridgerton, The Selection, and The Cruel Prince. โIf youโre looking for the next YA sensation, here it is.โ โAdalyn Grace, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Belladonna London, 1848โFor four hundred years, England has been under the control of an immortal fae queen who tricked her way onto the throne. To maintain an illusion of benevolence, Queen Mor grants each of her subjects one opportunity to bargain for their deepest desire. As Ivy Benton prepares to make her debut, she knows that not even a deal with the queen could fix what has gone wrong: Her familyโs social standing is in shambles, her sister is a shadow of her former self, and Ivyโs marriage prospects are nonexistent. So when the queen announces a competition for Prince Bramโs hand, Ivy is the first to sign her name in blood. What a bargain canโt fix, a crown certainly could. Ivy soon finds herself a surprising front-runnerโwith the help of an unexpected ally: Prince Bramโs brother, the rakish Prince Emmett, who promises to help Ivy win his brotherโs heartโฆfor a price. But as the season sweeps Ivy away, with glittering balls veiling the queenโs increasingly vicious trials, Ivy realizes thereโs more at stake than just a wedding. Because all faerie bargains come with a cost, and Ivy may have discovered hers too late. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Witch Haven comes a tale that will leave readers eager to bargain for a sequel.
