'A deliciously twisted gothic fantasy you'll want to read again and
again, with characters you'll adore, prose that'll spellbind you,
romance you'll swoon over, and a mystery that'll keep you guessing
until the last stunning twist' Diana Urban, author of These Deadly
Games Myra has a gift many would kidnap, blackmail, and worse to
control: she's a portrait artist whose paintings alter people's
bodies. Guarding that secret is the only way to keep her younger
sister safe now that their parents are gone. But one frigid night,
the governor's wife discovers the truth and threatens to expose
Myra if she does not complete a special portrait that would
resurrect the governor's dead son. Once she arrives at the
legendary stone mansion, however, it becomes clear the boy's death
was no accident. A killer stalks these halls - one disturbingly
obsessed with portrait magic. Desperate to get out of the manor as
quickly as possible, Myra turns to the governor's older son for
help completing the painting before the secret she spent her life
concealing makes her the killer's next victim. 'A heady blend of
the fantastical, the murderous, and the romantic' Kirkus Reviews,
STARRED review 'Marvelously magical and steeping with mystery'
Adalyn Grace, author of All the Stars and Teeth
'Lush and lavish, Sing Me Forgotten hit all the right notes' Erin
A. Craig, New York Times bestselling author of House of Salt and
Sorrow 'A deliciously magical feminist twist on the beloved classic
The Phantom of the Opera' Kester Grant, Sunday Times bestselling
author of The Court of Miracles Isda does not exist. At least not
beyond the opulent walls of the opera house. Cast into a well at
birth for being one of the magical few who can manipulate memories
when people sing, she was saved by Cyril, the opera house's owner.
Since that day, he has given her sanctuary from the murderous world
outside. All he asks in return is that she use her power to keep
ticket sales high-and that she stay out of sight. For if anyone
discovers she survived, Isda and Cyril would pay with their lives.
But Isda breaks Cyril's cardinal rule when she meets Emeric Rodin,
a charming boy who throws her quiet, solitary life out of balance.
His voice is unlike any she's ever heard, but the real shock comes
when she finds in his memories hints of a way to finally break free
of her gilded prison. Haunted by this possibility, Isda spends more
and more time with Emeric, searching for answers in his music and
his past. But the price of freedom is steeper than Isda could ever
know. For even as she struggles with her growing feelings for
Emeric, she learns that in order to take charge of her own destiny,
she must become the monster the world tried to drown in the first
place. 'Enchanting, lush and decadent' Adalyn Grace, author of All
the Stars and Teeth Also by Jessica S. Olson: A Forgery of Roses
