Summary

A lush and thrilling story of sacrifice, secrets and star-crossed love set in a Parisian-inspired world where the sun never sets in this remarkable YA fantasy debut.

Sylvie has always known she deserves more. Out in the permanent twilight of the Dusklands, her guardians called her power to create illusions a curse. But Sylvie knows it gives her a place in Coeur d'Or, the palais of the Amber Empress and her highborn legacies. So Sylvie sets off toward the Amber City, a glittering jewel under a sun that never sets, to take what is hers.

But her hope for a better life is quickly dimmed. The empress invites her in only as part of a wicked wager among her powerful courtiers. Sylvie must assume a new name, Mirage, and begin to navigate secretive social circles and deadly games of intrigue in order to claim her spot. Soon it becomes apparent that nothing is as it appears and no one, including her cruel yet captivating sponsor, Sunder, will answer her questions. As Mirage strives to seize what should be her rightful place, she'll have to consider whether it is worth the price she must pay.

Loved the story

I loved the storytelling. A unique magic system, palace intrigue, new romance .. it’s great. I was however distracted quite a lot by the narrator who was very breathy and would often make gasping noises as she was taking a breath in, just before speaking a new sentence. It was so distracting that I nearly returned the book at the beginning... however the book was gripping enough that I continued listening and have just purchased the second book, and just learned to put up with it. But it’s the first time I’ve ever heard a narrator do this!
