The foxglove king

£9.99

Lore was thirteen, she escaped a cult in the catacombs beneath the city of Dellaire. And in the ten years since, she’s lived by one rule: don’t let them find you. Easier said than done, when her magic ties her to the city. Mortem is a magic born from death, and it’s a high-priced and illicit commodity in Dellaire. Lore has made a living running poisons for the city’s underbelly, but when a run goes wrong she’s captured by the king and expects to be sent to the pyre. But the king has different plans. Lore is thrust into the Sainted King’s glittering court, where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted.

Description

‘Hannah Whitten is my new favourite obsession’ Jodi Picoult, New York Times-bestselling author

‘Sinister, deadly and so seductive you won’t be able to tear yourself away from this dark gem of a book’ Stephanie Garber, New York Times-bestselling author

In this gilded, gothic, and romantic new epic fantasy series from New York Times-bestselling author Hannah Whitten, a young woman’s secret power to raise the dead plunges her into the dangerous world of the Sainted King’s royal court.

Lore has been living by her wits since she was a child, running poisons for the cartel that took her in, avoiding the attention of the law, and keeping her illicit affinity for death magic a secret.

When a job goes wrong and Lore is captured by the Sainted King’s warrior-monks, she expects death. But King August has a different plan. Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, seemingly at random. Lore can either use her magic to find out what’s happening – or face the pyre.

Thrust into a lavish court where no one can be believed and even fewer can be trusted, Lore must navigate an intricate web of politics, religion, and forbidden romance and solve the King’s mystery. A mystery more dangerous and twisted than Lore can even imagine.
