*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* First in a "wildly inventive
and wildly representative" (The New York Times Book Review)
historical fantasy series, Roshani Chokshi's The Gilded Wolves
follows the exploits of a found family--six societal outcasts
tasked with stealing a powerful artifact that can alter their lives
for the better, but at the cost of breaking the world. All eyes are
on Paris where the Exposition Universelle World Fair is to be held.
Hidden among the technological marvels and artistic creations on
display is an item of unimaginable power--a Babel fragment that
would enable those who wield it with magical Forging abilities over
nature's elements. Severin Montagnet-Alarie's birthright was stolen
from him. Now, to reclaim his rightful place among France's elite,
he must obtain the Babel fragment for the Order. It is a heist that
will require the ingenuity and skills of those with nothing to lose
and everything to gain: Enrique, a gifted historian and wordsmith,
caught between two worlds; Zofia, a brilliant Forging artist and
engineer, separated from her family; Hypnos, a rival aristocrat who
needs an ally among the Order; Tristan, an extraordinary Forger
raised at Severin's side, loyal to his adopted brother's quest; and
Laila, the mysterious dancer and espionage artist who stole
Severin's heart in a moment of vulnerability he couldn't afford.
But as the dangerous risks of their escapade surge, Severin finds
himself torn between his desire for revenge against all those who
wronged him and the people he's deliberately placing in harm's
way--including the woman he loves and fears to lose... "A
masterpiece of imagination." --New York Times bestselling author
Stephanie Garber "Part political misadventure, part puzzle and
thoroughly charming, with a band of rapscallions and a string of
surprises." --New York Times bestselling author Holly Black "[A]
smart, dark adventure." --New York Times bestselling author

I completely fell in love with Roshani Chokshi when I read The Star-Touched Queen and she actually made me love her even more with this book! Everything from the characters to the plot to the incredible inventions is amazing. I honestly can't fault this book.
