About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

An enthralling sapphic retelling of Swan Lake, for fans of Allison Saft and V.E Schwab by the New York Times bestselling author of Where the Dark Stands Still.


Magic has long been outlawed in Réveillon. Odile has always known she’d be the one to restore it.

Raised by a sorcerer, Odile has spent years preparing for the heist of a lifetime. It’s relatively simple. Impersonate a princess, infiltrate the palace, steal the great sceptre and restore magic to the kingdom.

But when the King is unexpectedly murdered, she’s forced to recruit the help of Marie, the real princess, and the two begin to unravel a web of lies and deceit that leaves Odile uncertain of who to trust.

Soon though Odile must decide – her mission or the girl she’s falling for?

The fate of the Kingdom depends on her making the right choice. . .
