BY RYAN GRAUDIN
Goodreads Description:
In this lush and lyrical fantasy, Ryan
Graudin transports readers to the hidden magical pockets of early 1900s
Paris, a place of enchanted salons, fortune tellers who can change your
stars, and doorways that can take you to the most unexpected places—and
introduces readers to the delightful Céleste Artois, a con artist who
will make a deal with the devil in exchange for her life...and change
the fate of the world.
Once, Céleste Artois had dreams of
being an artist. But when the creative elite of Paris dashed those
plans, she turned her talents to forgery and cons. She and the
Enchantresses—her two fellow thieves and best friends—see Paris as a
rich hunting ground for marks. Yet even though their hideout in Peré
Lachaise cemetery is bursting with francs, Céleste cannot rest. There is
always more to take. And the blood she has begun to cough into her
handkerchief means her time is running out.
But everything
changes when she encounters Rafe, a mysterious and beautiful stranger
who leads her to an enchanted salon—a place where artists can bring
wondrous imaginations to life. Céleste is captivated by this
establishment, and learns of the existence of magical Paris, hidden in
the pockets and alleys of the ordinary world, if one only knows where to
look.
Rafe offers Céleste an irresistible deal: the gift of
time in exchange for lending him and his benefactor her forging talents.
But one must be careful making deals with devils, and there's more to
this hidden world than meets the eye. Shadows have begun to circle
Paris. And soon, the Enchantresses will find that true magic is far more
powerful, and deadly, than they ever imagined.
