Gilded Wicked Mirrors

In New Swansea, a glittering city once inhabited by vampires, power rests not with the royal class but with the Bargainers-deities trapped in magic mirrors, who exchange power, wealth, and knowledge for a cost . . . often a wretched one.

Quinnevere Ashelle wants nothing to do with the Bargainers, but at twenty-three, she is getting too old to make it into the Royalle Ballet, and with only one shot left, she'll do anything-including make a twisted deal with an evil god. The agreement is simple: passionately kiss her archnemesis, Prince Emrys, and she will receive her dream spot in the Royalle Ballet. Unfortunately, when Quinn's deal with the Bargainer backfires, her beloved friend turns up dead, entirely drained of blood, and with puncture wounds matching the long-extinct vampires.

Feeling utterly responsible, Quinn vows to get vengeance and use her medical examiner skills to solve the murder, but she is far outmatched in this world of immortals-especially when she discovers she's being hunted as is the killer's next target. If she wants to survive, she must team up with the devilishly attractive but wicked Prince Emrys to track down the murderer before she gets cornered herself.

Gilded Wicked Mirrors is a New Adult romance featuring enemies to lovers, knife to throat, and deadly bargains. The steam level is mild-to-medium, but the sequels will be much spicier. This single-POV fantasy romance is perfect for fans of Crescent City's gritty investigations and Caraval's lush world.
