Beschreibung

<b>"A stunning fantasy with one of the most unique magic systems I've seen in a long time."<br> ―</b><b><b>T. Kingfisher, </b><i><b>New York Times </b></i><b>bestselling author</b><br><br><b>This beguiling historical romantasy debut blends dark academia with the glamour of <i>Bridgerton</i>, as a scholar of magic investigates her sister’s murder—perfect for fans of Heather Fawcett and H. G. Parry. </b><br> <br> In an alternate London alive with botanical magic, Elswyth Elderwood is a thorn among roses: a bristly, scarred scholar in a world of socialites. Her sister Persephone is the opposite: a graceful debutante seeking a marriage that will save their family from ruin. At least, until Persephone is murdered. <br> <br> Suddenly the last scion of her house, Elswyth must abandon her studies and find a wealthy husband. She is thrust into a London fueled by floromancy: hedge witches sprout nightshade from their fingertips, high-born ladies weave gowns from wildflowers … and a serial killer called the Reaper transforms his victims into plant-human hybrids. <br> <br> When clues suggest the Reaper is a powerful nobleman, Elswyth’s search for her sister’s killer and her hunt for a husband become one and the same. But she is drawn to bastard-born archaeologist Silas Blackthorn—who may have dark, twisted secrets of his own. <br> <br> Elswyth must determine friend from foe and lover from liar—or suffer the same fate as her sister. </b>
