In this YA fantasy debut perfect for fans of Hotel Magnifique and These Violent Delights, a girl visits the enchanted island of her dreams only to discover that its magic is horribly cursed.
An enchanted island.
In the tenements where Lucia lives, everyone dreams of making it to the enchanted island of Estaralla, where mystical fountains reveal your deepest desires, fantastical feasts appear from nowhere, and dark caverns allow you to whisper with the dead.
A dangerous heist.
But Lucia Arduini isn’t going to Estaralla to experience miracles. She’s going to steal the most valuable object in the world: the source of the island’s magic.
Lucia has five days to steal the source or a dangerous gang will go after her brother.
A deadly secret.
But Estaralla is not what it seems.
Torn between a boy who once broke her heart and a girl with a dark secret, Lucia soon discovers that something sinister is happening behind the enchantments . . . and she might not survive the island’s magic long enough to steal it.
This dark YA fantasy with a bisexual love triangle is perfect for fans of Caraval and Belladonna.
Erin Luken was a longtime resident of New England until she finally abandoned winter for year-round sun in San Diego. When not writing or working her job as a software support engineer, she enjoys being active outdoors, preferably in the mountains. Erin writes speculative stories about morally questionable queer girls doing their best in a brutal world.
