In this charming debut fantasy perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and Girls of Paper and
Fire a witch cursed to never love meets a girl hiding her own dangerous magic and the two
strike a dangerous bargain to save their queendom. Tamsin is the most powerful witch of her
generation. But after committing the worst magical sin she’s exiled by the ruling Coven and
cursed with the inability to love. The only way she can get those feelings back—even for just a
little while—is to steal love from others. Wren is a source—a rare kind of person who is made
of magic despite being unable to use it herself. Sources are required to train with the Coven
as soon as they discover their abilities but Wren—the only caretaker to her ailing father—has
spent her life hiding her secret. When a magical plague ravages the queendom Wren’s father
falls victim. To save him Wren proposes a bargain: if Tamsin will help her catch the dark
witch responsible for creating the plague then Wren will give Tamsin her love for her father.
Of course love bargains are a tricky thing and these two have a long perilous journey ahead
of them—that is if they don’t kill each other first.
