In a world of rigid expectations and dazzling balls, twenty-three-year-old Rose Worthington would rather manage her family’s country estate than participate in London’s high society. When her latent magical abilities begin to flare—shattering glass and scorching walls—she struggles to conceal her powers. But she can’t hide from Lady Nightingale, the mysterious leader of a secret society of witches, who offers Rose a way to control her powers and navigate the perils of society. As whispers of witch hunters prowling the streets grow louder, Rose must navigate the treacherous world of the social elite, hiding her powers from those who seek to destroy her kind. She shouldn’t be pining for Philip, childhood friend left behind in the country, or spending so much time with Lord Alexander Crawford, the season’s most eligible bachelor. Torn between love and loyalty, Rose’s attempts to prove herself within the Nightingales lead to a dangerous mistake. With her newfound sisterhood at risk and witch hunters closing in, she must decide who she can trust—and how far she’s willing to go to protect her magic before it’s too late.
