Product description

In Rosiee Thor’s lavish fantasy novel with a Jazz Age spark, a politically savvy teen must weigh her desire to climb the social ladder against her heart in a world where magic buys votes. Flare is power.

With only a drop of flare, one can light the night sky with fireworks . . . or burn a building to the ground—and seventeen-year-old Ingrid Ellis wants her fair share.

Ingrid doesn’t have a family fortune, monetary or magical, but at least she has a plan: Rise to the top on the arm of Linden Holt, heir to a hefty political legacy and the largest fortune of flare in all of Candesce. Her only obstacle is Linden’s father who refuses to acknowledge her.

So when Senator Holt announces his run for president, Ingrid uses the situation to her advantage. She strikes a deal to spy on the senator’s opposition in exchange for his approval and the status she so desperately craves. But the longer Ingrid wears two masks, the more she questions where her true allegiances lie.

Will she stand with the Holts, or will she forge her own path?

A fabulous coming-of-age fantasy novel with a uniquely 1920’s inspired setting

Featuring a joyfully diverse LGBTQ+ cast

In a world where magic means everything, and just a drop of it can light the night sky, she has a plan to get her fair share. She strikes a deal with presidential candidate Holt to spy on his opposition, in exchange for his approval to date his son. On the arm of Linden Holt; heir to a political legacy and the largest magic fortune of all, she can rise to the top and acquire the status she so desperately craves. But the longer Ingrid wears two masks, the more she questions where her true allegiances lie. Will Ingrid burn bright, or burn it all to the ground?
