in possession of a magical Spectre–a shimmering thread that can extend beyond their visible
body to give a loving caress pick a lock . . . even kill. Feared for this ability Wielders
have always been Hunted. Alissa Paine heiress and daughter of a Hunter family . . . is also a
Wielder. At eighteen Alissa knows she’s escaped execution thus far only due to painful
self-control and the efforts of her beloved father. Summoned to the harsh and glittering royal
court for the debutante season Alissa finds herself caught in a web of intrigue and
betrayal—and caught between two equally dangerous men: one a brutal ruler with the handsome
face of a fairy-tale prince who would destroy her if he knew the truth—and the other a
beguiling foreign ambassador with secret agendas of his own. With the threat of discovery
lurking around every corner—and romance becoming an increasingly dangerous temptation—Alissa
will find that she has more to lose than her secrets. It’s Rose Season at the palace but to
survive she’ll need to become the most vicious of thorns. . . .
