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
