The first in a sweeping queer fantasy duology set in a shimmering, New Orleans-inspired world.

In the glittering city of New Soleil, beauty masks danger at every turn. The Nightshades, a crew of magical outlaws, are no different. Their glamorous facades conceal the terror they strike into the hearts of the rich and powerful as they steal from the corrupt and fight for the forgotten.

Noa Toussaint fled her cossetted life as a Saint to join the Nightshades. Infatuated with their ferocious leader, Lennon, Noa aims to capture her heart and keep it. Her talent for alchemy is valuable, but her connection to her family puts all of the Shades in danger.

Now enemies are closer than Lennon knows and Noa must uncover the threat and keep them both alive. Because in a city where lies are lethal and magic is fading, secrets aren't just costly--they're deadly.

About the Author
KATE KOENIG is a queer and neurodiverse writer, photographer, and cat mom originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She studied history and children's literature at the University of Pittsburgh before earning her MFA at The New School. Kate writes across genres and mediums, but her heart belongs to YA fantasy. She likes flawed, messy women who make the wrong choices, love big, and sometimes--hate harder. Her ultimate goal is to write stories for all lost girls looking for a place to call home.
