From Alexandra Bracken, the #1 New York
Times bestselling author of Lore, comes a stunningly original adult
fantasy. Set in a sumptuous world ruled by magical perfume, this
achingly romantic, slow-burn love story will shatter your heart and
leave you breathless.
Members of the ancient House Rosebourne
have a strange gift born of a fairy ancestor: the ability to infuse
fragrance with magic capable of manipulating mind, body, and emotion.
When
a shocking murder leaves the kingdom of Albion vulnerable to a coup,
royal spymaster Hugh Thornton seeks the one person who can help: Viola
Lockwood, the last living Rosebourne and secret heir to a fraught
legacy.
Livid at the silver-eyed aristocrat who had her thrown in
jail to force her compliance, Viola nevertheless comes to an agreement
with him. In exchange for crafting Immortal Rose, the singular perfume
capable of saving Albion, illegitimate Viola can seize the life—and
fortune—that should have been hers.
As Hugh and Viola race to
find the perfume’s lost fairy ingredient, hidden deep in Albion’s dark
underbelly, neither can deny the scorching attraction building between
them—especially as the attempts on Viola’s life grow increasingly
brazen.
But a terrible truth lurks in the heart notes of their
kingdom—and while every bargain has a cost, Immortal Rose may demand
more than Hugh and Viola can ever pay.
