The first installment of an unmissable romance.
In the kingdom of Daradon, possessing a “Wraith”—a form of living, internal magic—is a death sentence. Able to wield physical power that extends beyond their bodies, such as creating a glowing filament that can open a lock or a soft spiral that stretches out to deliver a loving caress, Wielders have always been feared and hunted. Hunted.
Alissa Paine, heir to a noble lineage and daughter of a family of Hunters, is also a Wielder who has lived her entire life hiding her gift. But when a wave of executions sweeps the country, the young woman cannot remain uninvolved.
Summoned to the royal court for debutante season, Alissa finds herself caught in a web of lies and dangerous alliances, torn between two men as handsome as a king who desires her but would kill her if he discovered her true nature, and a foreign ambassador who harbors more secrets than he lets on. With a simmering revolution, a deadly conspiracy, and a past that threatens to destroy her world, Alissa knows that to survive this Season of Roses, she must be fiercer than the thorns.
