Spunky witches, terrible curses, and queer enemies to lovers romance—a swoon-worthy young adult fantasy about the power of girls, love, and friendship.

Enter a broken world in which girls are cursed at birth with terrible powers . . .

Set in a world governed by witches who maintain their power by cursing girls at birth, this exciting novel deals with finding your power, relying on friendship and recognising the healing power of love. 

Drinn has grown up knowing that thanks to the curse placed on her as a baby, should she ever fall in love, the world will be beset by unimaginable disaster.  When she escapes captivity and finds refuge in the city, she joins forces with other cursed girls to battle the evil put in place by the witches and their draconian rule. With each day bringing her closer to unleashing the full power of her curse, can Drinn and her friends change the course of what has been determined for her? 

This page turning, nail-biting adventure is a fresh new teen romantic fantasy that relishes the power of girls and celebrates the ultimate life-giving power of love and friendship. With its surprising enemies to lovers storyline and ambitious fantasy world, this book is sure to delight fans of Samantha Shannon and Stephanie Garber.
