Curses are made to be broken. 'Enthralling to the last page'
Shelley Parker-Chan Filled with magic, stardust, and a shockingly
dark heart, this is a stunning standalone fantasy perfect for fans
of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, The Starless Sea and The
Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. For centuries, generations of
Everlys have seen their brightest and best disappear, taken as
punishment for a crime no one remembers, for a purpose no one
understands. Their tormentor is a woman named Penelope, who never
ages, never grows sick - and never forgives a debt. Ten years ago,
Violet Everly's mother left, determined to break their curse, and
never returned. Now Violet must find her mother, or she will be
taken in her place. To do so, she must descend into a seductive
magical underworld of power-hungry scholars, fickle gods and
monsters bent on revenge. She must also contend with Penelope's
quiet assistant, Aleksander, who she knows cannot be trusted - and
yet to whom she finds herself undeniably drawn. Tied to a very
literal deadline, Violet will travel the edges of the world to find
Marianne and the key to the city of stardust, where the Everly
story began . . . READERS LOVE THE CITY OF STARDUST 'Reminiscent of
